QID 730021: Apache ActiveMQ Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) In WebConsole Vulnerability

Apache ActiveMQ is an open source message broker written in Java together with a full Java Message Service (JMS) client.

Apache ActiveMQ does not restrict the classes that can be serialized in the broker, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java Message Service (JMS) ObjectMessage object.

Affected Versions:
Apache ActiveMQ prior to 5.15.13 and 5.16.0

QID Detection Logic (Unauthenticated):
This QID tries to get the Apache ActiveMQ versions from admin/index.jsp pages if the target allows unauthenticated access to the admin directory.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code to preform XXS script.

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 6.1 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4.3 severity.
    • Solution
    Customer are advised to update to Apache ActiveMQ latest versions to remediate this vulnerability.
