Description

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

- Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in
Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Web Console. The browse page in the web console renders a message Id
directly without sanitization. This allows an authenticated producer to send a message with a JMS message
ID that has been crafted to contain HTML/JavaScript such that when an administrator browses the queue in
the Web Console, the payload executes in their browser. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.8,
from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7; Apache ActiveMQ Web Console: before 5.19.8, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7. Users are
recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.7 or 5.19.8, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-52760)

Solution

Update the org.apache.activemq:activemq-web-console library and its related packages to version 5.19.8 or later.
