Description

Improper Authorization vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ. An authenticated low-privilege Web Console user by default can access /admin/* paths in the Web Console. The default Jetty settings incorrectly did not limit those paths to only admins. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: 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.

Affected

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

v < 5.19.86.0.0 ≤ v < 6.2.76.0.0
Affected range stops below 5.19.8, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
Affected range stops below 6.2.7, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
