DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
Apache ActiveMQ is commonly deployed in enterprise environments. An attacker with network access to ActiveMQ can leverage attack tools to take control of an ActiveMQ server or steal sensitive data.
Category

The Java OpenWire protocol is associated with the open source message-oriented broker service, Apache ActiveMQ, which enables client connections. A vulnerability in the Java OpenWire protocol enables remote attackers to manipulate a serialized class type and inject malicious commands. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker establishes a connection to ActiveMQ over the OpenWire protocol and sends a specially designed OpenWire request. The ActiveMQ server trusts the class type provided by the attacker. Then, the request prompts the ActiveMQ server to load a class configuration file and run the malicious command within the serialized class type.
Upgrade brokers and clients to version 5.18.3, 5.17.6, 5.16.7, or 5.15.16
