CVE-2023-46604— Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Legacy OpenWire Module: Unbounded deserialization causes ActiveMQ to be vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack
Quick assessment
Affected
Apache Software Foundation Apache ActiveMQ
Exploitation
Confirmed exploitation in the wild; remediate immediately
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
Apache ActiveMQ是美国阿帕奇（Apache）基金会的一套开源的消息中间件，它支持Java消息服务、集群、Spring Framework等。 Apache ActiveMQ 5.15.16之前、5.16.7之前、5.17.6之前或5.18.3之前版本存在代码问题漏洞，该漏洞源于允许具有代理网络访问权限的远程攻击者通过操纵 OpenWire 协议中的序列化类类型来运行任意 shell 命令。

Vulnerability Title
Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ Legacy OpenWire Module: Unbounded deserialization causes ActiveMQ to be vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
The Java OpenWire protocol marshaller is vulnerable to Remote Code
Execution. This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker with network
access to either a Java-based OpenWire broker or client to run arbitrary
shell commands by manipulating serialized class types in the OpenWire
protocol to cause either the client or the broker (respectively) to
instantiate any class on the classpath.
Users are recommended to upgrade
both brokers and clients to version 5.15.16, 5.16.7, 5.17.6, or 5.18.3
which fixes this issue.
