Description

An unauthenticated network-adjacent attacker can leverage discovery to capture cluster administrative credentials during the initial cluster connection handshake. This issue affects Apache Artemis: from 2.50.0 through 2.56.0; Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: from 1.0.0 through 2.44.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.57.0, which fixes the issue.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

1.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 2.44.01.0.0 ≤ v < 2.44.02.50.0 ≤ v ≤ 2.56.02.50.0 ≤ v < 2.57.01.0.02.50.0
Affected range stops below 2.44.0, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
