Vendor: Apache Foundation

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The web-based administration console in Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.13.2 does not send an X-Frame-Options HTTP header, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks via a crafted web page that contains a (1) FRAME or (2) IFRAME element.

Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
