In Apache ActiveMQ 6.x, the default configuration doesn't secure the API web context (where the Jolokia JMX REST API and the Message REST API are located). It means that anyone can use these layers without any required authentication. Potentially, anyone can interact with the broker (using Jolokia JMX REST API) and/or produce/consume messages or purge/delete destinations (using the Message REST API). To mitigate, users can update the default conf/jetty.xml configuration file to add authentication requirement: <bean id="securityConstraintMapping" class="org.eclipse.jetty.security.ConstraintMapping"> <property name="constraint" ref="securityConstraint" /> <property name="pathSpec" value="/" /> </bean> Or we encourage users to upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ 6.1.2 where the default configuration has been updated with authentication by default.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - In Apache ActiveMQ 6.x, the default configuration doesn't secure the API web context (where the Jolokia

    encourage users to upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ 6.1.2 where the default configuration has been updated with
    authentication by default. (CVE-2024-32114)

The version of Apache ActiveMQ running on the remote host is 6.x prior to 6.1.2. It is, therefore, affected by an insecure the API web that a attacker can use without any required authentication.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
