What is CVE-2016-6810?

In Apache ActiveMQ versions prior to 5.14.2, a cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered within the web-based administration console. This issue stems from improper validation of user-generated data, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that could be executed in the context of an authenticated user's session. It is essential for administrators to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk and secure their ActiveMQ installations against potential exploits.
