Hi, the following vulnerability was published for activemq. I'm not very familiar with activemq itself, so I'm reporting this with initial severity grave, but let me know if you disagree. CVE-2015-5254[0]: Unsafe deserialization Upstream advisory is at [1]: | Description: | | JMS Object messages depends on Java Serialization for marshaling/unmashaling | of the message payload. There are a couple of places inside the broker where | deserialization can occur, like web console or stomp object message | transformation. As deserialization of untrusted data can leaed to security | flaws as demonstrated in various reports, this leaves the broker vunerable to | this attack vector. Additionally, applications that consume ObjectMessage type | of messages can be vunerable as they deserlize objects on | ObjectMessage.getObject() calls. | | Mitigation: | | Upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ 5.13.0. Additionally if you're using ObjectMessage | message type, you need to explicitly list trusted packages. To see how to do | that, please take a look at: http://activemq.apache.org/objectmessage.html If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
