CVE-2026-49157
Apache ActiveMQ: Authenticated low-privilege Web users retain Jolokia broker-management capability by default
CVE-2026-49157 is a high vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) in Apache Activemq, published June 1, 2026. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.44%, the 38th percentile. Fixed in org.apache.activemq:apache-activemq 5.19.7.
Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ.
This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6.
The default Jolokia authorization settings granted non-admin (low-privilege) web-login accounts access to Jolokia operations which allowed executing broker management operations meant for admins such as addQueue and removeQueue.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.6 or 5.19.7, which fixes the issue.

The most popular and powerful open source messaging and Integration Patterns server.
Security Fix(es):
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Web.
The MessageServlet in the ActiveMQ web console API copies every JMS message property into an HTTP response header without any validation. This can allow overwriting and injecting security headers by setting them on JMS messages that are returned by the servlet.
This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6; Apache ActiveMQ Web: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.19.7 or 6.2.6, which fixes the issue. The MessageServlet has now been deprecated and disabled by default.(CVE-2026-42253)
Improper Input Validation, Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ All, Apache ActiveMQ.
Apache ActiveMQ Classic exposes the Jolokia JMX-HTTP bridge at /api/jolokia/ on the web console. The default Jolokia access policy permits exec operations on all ActiveMQ MBeans (org.apache.activemq:*), including BrokerService.addNetworkConnector(String).
An authenticated attacker can invoke these operations with a crafted discovery URI that triggers the VM transport's brokerConfig parameter using the "masterslave:// " URL which can allow loading a Spring XML application context using ResourceXmlApplicationContext. Because Spring's ResourceXmlApplicationContext instantiates all singleton beans before the BrokerService validates the configuration, arbitrary code execution occurs on the broker's JVM through bean factory methods such as Runtime.exec(). This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6; Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6.
