high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441135

Description

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

- Improper Input Validation, Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in
Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ All. An authenticated attacker can use the admin
web console page to construct a malicious broker name that bypasses name validation to include an xbean
binding that can be later used by a VM transport to load a remote Spring XML application. The attacker can
then use the DestinationView mbean to send a message to trigger a VM transport creation that will
reference this malicious broker name which can lead to loading the malicious Spring XML context file.
Because Spring's ResourceXmlApplicationContext instantiates all singleton beans before the BrokerService
validates the configuration, arbitrary code execution occurs on the broker's JVM through bean factory
methods such as Runtime.exec(). This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.6, from 6.0.0 before
6.2.5; Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.6, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.5; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.6,
from 6.0.0 before 6.2.5. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.5 or 5.19.6, which fixes the
issue. (CVE-2026-41044)

Solution

Update the org.apache.activemq:activemq-all library and its related packages to version 5.19.6 or later.
