SCA: security update for Apache.NMS.AMQP (GHSA-4mjw-xr5x-prpc)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435662

Description

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

 - A Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability exists in the Apache ActiveMQ NMS AMQP Client. This
 issue affects all versions of Apache ActiveMQ NMS AMQP up to and including 2.3.0, when establishing
 connections to untrusted AMQP servers. Malicious servers could exploit unbounded deserialization logic
 present in the client to craft responses that may lead to arbitrary code execution on the client side.
 Although version 2.1.0 introduced a mechanism to restrict deserialization via allow/deny lists, the
 protection was found to be bypassable under certain conditions. In line with Microsoft’s deprecation of
 binary serialization in .NET 9, the project is evaluating the removal of .NET binary serialization support
 from the NMS API entirely in future releases. Mitigation and Recommendations: Users are strongly
 encouraged to upgrade to version 2.4.0 or later, which resolves the issue. Additionally, projects
 depending on NMS-AMQP should migrate away from .NET binary serialization as part of a long-term hardening
 strategy. (CVE-2025-54539)
