CVE-2016-3088

CVSS v2.0

10

Critical

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache ActiveMQ versions 5.x through 5.13.x
Description The issue exists due to insufficient input validation in the Fileserver web application. It allows a remote attacker to upload and execute arbitrary files via an HTTP PUT request followed by an HTTP MOVE request. This can be achieved by sending a PUT request to a vulnerable endpoint, such as /fileserver, and then sending a MOVE request to execute the uploaded file.
Recommendations For Apache ActiveMQ versions 5.x through 5.13.x, update to version 5.14.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the HTTP MOVE method for the Fileserver web application until a patch is available. Restrict access to the Fileserver web application to minimize the risk of exploitation.
