Publication date: 2026-06-30

Last updated on: 2026-06-30

Assigner: Apache Software Foundation

Description
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Web Console. The browse page in the web console renders a message Id directly without sanitization. This allows an authenticated producer to send a message with a JMS message ID that has been crafted to contain HTML/JavaScript such that when an administrator browses the queue in the Web Console, the payload executes in their browser. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.8, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7; Apache ActiveMQ Web Console: before 5.19.8, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.7. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.7 or 5.19.8, which fixes the issue.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Apache ActiveMQ Web Console. Specifically, the browse page in the web console renders a message ID directly without sanitizing it. An authenticated producer can send a message with a JMS message ID that contains malicious HTML or JavaScript code. When an administrator views the queue in the Web Console, this malicious code executes in their browser.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker who is an authenticated producer to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of an administrator using the Web Console. This could lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the administrator, or exposure of sensitive information accessible through the administrator's browser session.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, users are recommended to upgrade Apache ActiveMQ and Apache ActiveMQ Web Console to versions 6.2.7 or 5.19.8 or later, which contain the fix for this issue.
