CRITICAL 9.8 Maven

Remote code execution in Apache ActiveMQ

GHSA-wqfh-9m4g-7x6x · BIT-activemq-2020-11998 · CVE-2020-11998

Published · Modified

Description

A regression has been introduced in the commit preventing JMX re-bind. By passing an empty environment map to RMIConnectorServer, instead of the map that contains the authentication credentials, it leaves ActiveMQ open to the following attack - A remote client could create a javax.management.loading.MLet MBean and use it to create new MBeans from arbitrary URLs, at least if there is no security manager. In other words, a rogue remote client could make your Java application execute arbitrary code. Mitigation - Upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ 5.15.13
