CVE-2026-52760: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Apache Software Foundation Apache ActiveMQ
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Web Console. The browse page in the web console renders a message Id directly without sanitization. This allows an authenticated producer to send a message with a JMS message ID that has been crafted to contain HTML/JavaScript such that when an administrator browses the queue in the Web Console, the payload executes in their browser. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.8, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7; Apache ActiveMQ Web Console: before 5.19.8, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.7 or 5.19.8, which fixes the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-52760 is a CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ's Web Console. The browse page renders JMS message IDs without sanitization, enabling an authenticated producer to inject HTML/JavaScript payloads. This leads to cross-site scripting (XSS) when an administrator browses the queue. The vulnerability affects Apache ActiveMQ versions prior to 5.19.8 and versions from 6.0.0 up to but not including 6.2.7. The issue is fixed in versions 5.19.8 and 6.2.7.
Potential Impact
An authenticated producer can craft a JMS message ID containing malicious HTML or JavaScript that executes in the browser of an administrator viewing the queue in the Web Console. This could lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or other browser-based attacks against the administrator. The vulnerability requires authentication as a producer, limiting exposure to authorized users with message sending capabilities.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available. Users should upgrade Apache ActiveMQ to version 5.19.8 or 6.2.7 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigations are specified or required once the upgrade is applied.
