This can allow overwriting and injecting security headers by setting them on JMS messages that are returned by the servlet.\n\nThis issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6; Apache ActiveMQ Web: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6.\n\nUsers are recommended to upgrade to version 5.19.7 or 6.2.6, which fixes the issue. The MessageServlet has now been deprecated and disabled by default.","published":"2026-06-01T09:16:19.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-22T07:10:00.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"security@apache.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":["apache/activemq","apache/activemq web"],"epss":{"score":0.01107,"percentile":0.65607,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.11%).
