Apache Artemis 1.3.0 < 2.45.0 / 2.50.0 < 2.57.0 Denial of Service (CVE-2026-57822)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 344717

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache Artemis (formerly Apache ActiveMQ Artemis) installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability:

- When the broker is processing message-based management requests, sent by an authenticated messaging client that is authorized with MANAGE permission to perform management-via-messaging, the parameter processing can trigger Java deserialization of certain method parameters that the broker will not utilise. The permitted types allow to craft a payload causing excessive computation and pinning the processing thread, leading to denial of service. (CVE-2026-57822)

Versions 1.3.0 through 2.44.0 (Apache ActiveMQ Artemis) and 2.50.0 through 2.56.x (Apache Artemis) are affected.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Artemis version 2.57.0 or later.
