Apache ActiveMQ 5.x < 5.13.0 Java Object Deserialization RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 87410

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is running a web application that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache ActiveMQ running on the remote host is 5.x prior to 5.13.0. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the broker due to unsafe deserialize calls of unauthenticated Java objects to the Apache Commons Collections (ACC) library. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on the target host.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ version 5.13.0 or later.
