Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-6092)
CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform Cross-site scripting attacks.
An input validation error exists in the web demos in Apache ActiveMQ before 5.8.0 when processing (1) the refresh parameter to PortfolioPublishServlet.java (aka demo/portfolioPublish or Market Data Publisher), or vectors involving (2) debug logs or (3) subscribe messages in webapp/websocket/chat.js. NOTE: AMQ-4124 is covered by CVE-2012-6551. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-6551)
CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The default configuration of Apache ActiveMQ before 5.8.0 enables a sample web application, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (broker resource consumption) via HTTP requests.
3) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-3060)
CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to #BASIC_IMPACT#.
The web console in Apache ActiveMQ before 5.8.0 does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via HTTP requests.
