CVE-2016-6810
In Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.14.2, an instance of a cross-site scripting vulnerability was identified to be present in the web based administration console.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (6.09%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.14.2, an instance of a cross-site scripting vulnerability was identified to be present in the web based administration console. The root cause of this issue is improper user data output validation.
