Apache ActiveMQ is vulnerable to remote code execution. The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker with network access to a broker to run arbitrary shell commands by manipulating serialized class types in the OpenWire protocol to cause the broker to instantiate any class on the classpath. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 5.15.16, 5.16.7, 5.17.6 or 5.18.3, which address this issue.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโs self-reported version number.
