SCA: security update for org.apache.activemq:apache-activemq (GHSA-gj5m-m88j-v7c3)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415164

Description

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
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. (CVE-2024-32114)
