Summary

The vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Artemis originates from the unauthorized exposure of diagnostic information and control mechanisms through MBeans, particularly accessible via the authenticated Jolokia endpoint. Prior to version 2.29.0, the Log4J2 MBean was also part of this exposure, which is not intended for non-administrative user access. An authenticated attacker can leverage this situation to write arbitrary files to the filesystem, paving the way for potential remote code execution. It is strongly recommended that users upgrade to version 2.29.0 or later to mitigate this risk.

Affected Version(s)

Apache ActiveMQ Artemis 0 < 2.29.0

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
