CVE-2026-49270

Exposure of Sensitive Information Through Metadata vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ All.

Brokers that are configured with a network connector with syncDurableSubs set to true, are vulnerable to an unauthenticated attacker who can receive a list of all durable topic subscriptions in the broker, including client identifiers, subscription names, topic destinations, and JMS selector expressions, by sending a BrokerInfo command. The broker incorrectly responds without first ensuring the connection is authenticated. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6; Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.6 or 5.19.7, which fixes the issue.

Weakness

The product prevents direct access to a resource containing sensitive information, but it does not sufficiently limit access to metadata that is derived from the original, sensitive information.

Affected Software

Extended Description

Developers might correctly prevent unauthorized access to a database or other resource containing sensitive information, but they might not consider that portions of the original information might also be recorded in metadata, search indices, statistical reports, or other resources. If these resources are not also restricted, then attackers might be able to extract some or all of the original information, or otherwise infer some details. For example, an attacker could specify search terms that are known to be unique to a particular person, or view metadata such as activity or creation dates in order to identify usage patterns.
