Improper input validation in TopicRegion in Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Broker, and Apache ActiveMQ All on all platforms. An authenticated client can spoof clientId when removing a durable topic subscription. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.11, from 6.0.0 before 6.3.2; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.11, from 6.0.0 before 6.3.2; Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.11, from 6.0.0 before 6.3.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.3.2 or 5.19.11 which fixes the issue.

CVE-2026-42588 is a high-severity vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the broker's JVM. The flaw is due to improper input validation in the Jolokia JMX-HTTP bridge, enabling exec operations on all ActiveMQ MBeans, including BrokerService.addNetworkConnector. Attackers can exploit this by crafting a discovery URI with a malicious brokerConfig parameter, triggering loading of a malicious Spring XML application context and resulting in code execution via bean factory methods such as Runtime.exec(). This affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker versions before 5.19.7 and version 6.0.0 exactly. No official patch or remediation level is currently provided.

CVE-2026-45505 is a high-severity vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker involving improper input validation. Authenticated attackers can exploit the Jolokia JMX-HTTP bridge by passing crafted discovery URIs that load remote Spring XML application contexts, leading to arbitrary code execution on the broker's JVM. This affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker versions before 5.19.7 and from 6.0.0 up to but not including 6.2.6. Users are advised to upgrade to fixed versions to mitigate this risk.

Apache ActiveMQ Broker versions before 5.19.7 and from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6 have an improper authorization vulnerability. This flaw allows authenticated users with certain permissions to remove existing destinations without complete authorization checks. The issue is fixed in versions 5.19.7 and 6.2.6.

Apache ActiveMQ Broker versions before 5.19.7 and from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6 have a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive metadata about durable topic subscriptions. This includes client identifiers, subscription names, topic destinations, and JMS selector expressions. The issue arises when brokers are configured with a network connector with syncDurableSubs set to true and respond to BrokerInfo commands without verifying authentication. Upgrading to versions 5.19.7 or 6.2.6 resolves this vulnerability.

Improper Input Validation, Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ All. An authenticated attacker can use the admin web console page to construct a malicious broker name that bypasses name validation to include an xbean binding that can be later used by a VM transport to load a remote Spring XML application. The attacker can then use the DestinationView mbean to send a message to trigger a VM transport creation that will reference this malicious broker name which can lead to loading the malicious Spring XML context file. Because Spring's ResourceXmlApplicationContext instantiates all singleton beans before the BrokerService validates the configuration, arbitrary code execution occurs on the broker's JVM through bean factory methods such as Runtime.exec(). This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.6, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.5; Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.6, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.5; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.6, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.5. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.5 or 5.19.6, which fixes the issue.

Improper Input Validation, Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ All, Apache ActiveMQ. An authenticated attacker may bypass the fix in CVE-2026-34197 by adding a connector using an HTTP Discovery transport via BrokerView.addNetworkConnector or BrokerView.addConnector through Jolokia if the activemq-http module is on the classpath. A malicious HTTP endpoint can return a VM transport through the HTTP URI which will bypass the validation added in CVE-2026-34197. The attacker can then use the VM transport's brokerConfig parameter to load a remote Spring XML application context using ResourceXmlApplicationContext. Because Spring's ResourceXmlApplicationContext instantiates all singleton beans before the BrokerService validates the configuration, arbitrary code execution occurs on the broker's JVM through bean factory methods such as Runtime.exec(). This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.6, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.5; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.6, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.5; Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.6, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.5. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.19.6 or 6.2.5, which fixes the issue.

Denial of Service via Out of Memory vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Client, Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ. ActiveMQ NIO SSL transports do not correctly handle TLSv1.3 handshake KeyUpdates triggered by clients. This makes it possible for a client to rapidly trigger updates which causes the broker to exhaust all its memory in the SSL engine leading to DoS. Note: TLS versions before TLSv1.3 (such as TLSv1.2) are broken but are not vulnerable to OOM. Previous TLS versions require a full handshake renegotiation which causes a connection to hang but not OOM. This is fixed as well. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Client: before 5.19.4, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.4; Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.4, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.4; Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.4, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.4. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.4 or 5.19.5, which fixes the issue.

Improper validation and restriction of a classpath path name vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Client, Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ All, Apache ActiveMQ Web, Apache ActiveMQ. In two instances (when creating a Stomp consumer and also browsing messages in the Web console) an authenticated user provided "key" value could be constructed to traverse the classpath due to path concatenation. As a result, the application is exposed to a classpath path resource loading vulnerability that could potentially be chained together with another attack to lead to exploit. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Client: before 5.19.3, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.2; Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.3, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.2; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.3, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.2; Apache ActiveMQ Web: before 5.19.3, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.2; Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.3, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.19.4 or 6.2.3, which fixes the issue. Note: 5.19.3 and 6.2.2 also fix this issue, but that is limited to non-Windows environments due to a path separator resolution bug fixed in 5.19.4 and 6.2.3.

Improper Input Validation, Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ. Apache ActiveMQ Classic exposes the Jolokia JMX-HTTP bridge at /api/jolokia/ on the web console. The default Jolokia access policy permits exec operations on all ActiveMQ MBeans (org.apache.activemq:*), including BrokerService.addNetworkConnector(String) and BrokerService.addConnector(String). An authenticated attacker can invoke these operations with a crafted discovery URI that triggers the VM transport's brokerConfig parameter to load a remote Spring XML application context using ResourceXmlApplicationContext. Because Spring's ResourceXmlApplicationContext instantiates all singleton beans before the BrokerService validates the configuration, arbitrary code execution occurs on the broker's JVM through bean factory methods such as Runtime.exec(). This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.4, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.3; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.4, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.3; Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.4, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.3. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.19.4 or 6.2.3, which fixes the issue
