CVE-2023-50780
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Very high risk97th percentile - higher than 97% of all known CVEs
Summary
Apache ActiveMQ Artemis before version 2.29.0 allows access to diagnostic information and controls through MBeans, including the Log4J2 MBean, which is not meant for exposure to non-administrative users. This could allow an authenticated attacker to write arbitrary files to the filesystem and indirectly achieve RCE.
Risk Assessment
The organization may be exposed to serious threats if an authenticated user gains access to the Log4J2 MBean, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the filesystem and remote code execution.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to version 2.29.0 or later to fix this vulnerability.
Original NVD description (English source)
Apache ActiveMQ Artemis allows access to diagnostic information and controls through MBeans, which are also exposed through the authenticated Jolokia endpoint. Before version 2.29.0, this also included the Log4J2 MBean. This MBean is not meant for exposure to non-administrative users. This could eventually allow an authenticated attacker to write arbitrary files to the filesystem and indirectly achieve RCE. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.29.0 or later, which fixes the issue.
