Apache ActiveMQ Web Console Missing X-Frame-Options Clickjacking

medium Nessus Plugin ID 90026

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Apache ActiveMQ running on the remote host is affected by a clickjacking vulnerability in the web-based administration console due to not setting the X-Frame-Options header in HTTP responses. A remote attacker can exploit this to trick a user into executing administrative tasks.

Note that this vulnerability was partially fixed in 5.11.4 and 5.12.3 by setting the X-Frame-Options header for Servlets and JSPs but not static content. Therefore, the fix for these versions is incomplete, and it is recommended that users upgrade to 5.13.2 or later.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ version 5.13.2 or later.
