Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 87.1% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: eap7-activemq-artemis (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:7::el6) 0:1.5.5.008-1.redhat_1.1.ep7.el6, 0:1.1.0-15.SP18_redhat_1.1.ep7.el6; eap7-activemq-artemis-cli (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:7::el6) 0:1.5.5.008-1.redhat_1.1.ep7.el6, 0:1.1.0-15.SP18_redhat_1.1.ep7.el6; eap7-activemq-artemis-commons (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:7::el6) 0:1.1.0-15.SP18_redhat_1.1.ep7.el6, 0:1.5.5.008-1.redhat_1.1.ep7.el6.
