Fixed In Version: activemq-apollo 1.8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
It was discovered that Apache ActiveMQ Apollo performed XML External Entity (XXE) expansion when evaluating XPath expressions. A remote, attacker-controlled consumer able to specify an XPath-based selector to dequeue XML messages from an Apache ActiveMQ Apollo broker could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the broker, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.
