Incorrect Default Permissions in Apache ActiveMQ Jolokia Authorization
CVE-2026-49157 is an incorrect default permissions vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ affecting versions before 5.19.7 and versions from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6. In affected releases, the default Jolokia authorization configuration granted authenticated non-admin, low-privilege web-login accounts access to Jolokia broker-management operations that should have been restricted to administrators. This exposed administrative broker functions such as addQueue and removeQueue through the management interface, allowing low-privilege users to perform unauthorized broker management actions.
