Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated remote attackers can create arbitrary durable queues on Apache Artemis and Apache ActiveMQ Artemis brokers via the native CORE protocol due to missing authentication enforcement in the protocol handler. The vulnerability spans the entire Apache ActiveMQ Artemis release history (1.0.0 through 2.44.0) and the recently rebranded Apache Artemis fork (2.50.0 through 2.56.0), making the unpatched population potentially very large. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker requires network connectivity to the Apache Artemis broker's CORE protocol acceptor, which listens on TCP 61616 by default and is enabled in standard out-of-the-box deployments. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The combination of a network attack vector, low attack complexity, no required privileges, and no user interaction places this firmly in the high-severity range despite the lack of a vendor-supplied CVSS vector. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to Apache Artemis version 2.57.0 or later, which resolves the missing authentication check in the CORE protocol handler; this fix applies to both the org.apache.artemis:artemis-server and org.apache.activemq:artemis-server artifacts. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: identify all Apache Artemis and ActiveMQ Artemis deployments in your environment, document their versions and network exposure, and immediately implement firewall rules restricting access to the CORE protocol port (default 61616) to trusted internal networks only, blocking all external connections. …
