Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- 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: 0.68% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 53.1% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache ActiveMQ 5.19.8, 6.2.7; Apache Software Foundation Apache ActiveMQ All 5.19.8, 6.2.7; Apache Software Foundation Apache ActiveMQ Broker 5.19.8, 6.2.7.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache ActiveMQ 5.19.8, 6.2.7; Apache Software Foundation Apache ActiveMQ All 5.19.8, 6.2.7; Apache Software Foundation Apache ActiveMQ Broker 5.19.8, 6.2.7 or later.
