low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439275

Description

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

- Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) vulnerability in Apache Artemis, Apache ActiveMQ Artemis exists when an
application using the OpenWire protocol attempts to create a non-durable JMS topic subscription on an
address that doesn't exist with an authenticated user which has the "createDurableQueue" permission but
does not have the "createAddress" permission and address auto-creation is disabled. In this circumstance,
a temporary address will be created whereas the attempt to create the non-durable subscription should
instead fail since the user is not authorized to create the corresponding address. When the OpenWire
connection is closed the address is removed. This issue affects Apache Artemis: from 2.50.0 through
2.52.0; Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: from 2.0.0 through 2.44.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version
2.53.0, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-32642)

Solution

Update the org.apache.activemq:artemis-openwire-protocol library and its related packages to version 2.53.0 or later.
