CVE-2015-6524
The LDAPLoginModule implementation in the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) in Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.10.1 allows wildcard operators in usernames, which allows remote attackers to obtain credentials via a brute force attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (8.57%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
