Description
XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.10.1 allows remote consumers to have unspecified impact via vectors involving an XPath based selector when dequeuing XML messages.
Affected versions
Maven
| Package | Vulnerable | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| org.apache.activemq:activemq-broker | >= 5.0.0, < 5.10.1 |
5.10.1 |
| org.apache.activemq:activemq-client | >= 5.0.0, < 5.10.1 |
5.10.1 |
How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

Weakness
CWE-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference

How to prevent it
- Implementation, System Configuration: Many XML parsers and validators can be configured to disable external entity expansion.
