Doc Text:	A flaw was found in Apache ActiveMQ Client, Apache ActiveMQ Broker and Apache ActiveMQ All. A path traversal vulnerability, specifically an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, allows an authenticated user to manipulate input to traverse the classpath of the application, leading to an unauthorized classpath resource loading issue.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-07 09:01:25 UTC

Improper validation and restriction of a classpath path name vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Client, Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ All.

In two instances (when creating a Stomp consumer and also browsing messages in the Web console) an authenticated user provided "key" value could be constructed to traverse the classpath due to path concatenation. As a result, the application is exposed to a classpath path resource loading vulnerability that could potentially be chained together with another attack to lead to exploit.This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Client: before 5.19.3, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.2; Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.3, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.2; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.3, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.2.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.19.4 or 6.2.3, which fixes the issue. Note: 5.19.3 and 6.2.2 also fix this issue, but that is limited to non-Windows environments due to a path separator resolution bug fixed in 5.19.4 and 6.2.3.
