Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-40466)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation and code injection in BrokerView.addNetworkConnector and BrokerView.addConnector through Jolokia when adding a connector using an HTTP discovery transport. A remote user can add a connector that causes a malicious HTTP endpoint to return a VM transport and load a remote Spring XML application context to execute arbitrary code.
Exploitation requires the activemq-http module to be on the classpath.
2) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-41044)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation and code injection in the admin web console and DestinationView MBean when processing a malicious broker name and triggering VM transport creation. A remote user can construct a malicious broker name and send a message through the DestinationView MBean to execute arbitrary code.
Exploitation requires access to the admin web console and the DestinationView MBean exposed by Jolokia.
