CVE-2024-32114: Apache ActiveMQ: Jolokia and REST API were not secured with default configuration

[Jean-Baptiste Onofré <jbonofre () apache org>]

Severity: low

Affected versions:

- Apache ActiveMQ 6.0.0 through 6.1.1

Description:

In Apache ActiveMQ 6.x, the default configuration doesn't secure the API web context (where the Jolokia JMX REST API 
and the Message REST API are located).
It means that anyone can use these layers without any required authentication. Potentially, anyone can interact with 
the broker (using Jolokia JMX REST API) and/or produce/consume messages or purge/delete destinations (using the Message 
REST API).

To mitigate, users can update the default conf/jetty.xml configuration file to add authentication requirement:
<bean id="securityConstraintMapping" class="org.eclipse.jetty.security.ConstraintMapping">
  <property name="constraint" ref="securityConstraint" />
  <property name="pathSpec" value="/" />
</bean>

Or we encourage users to upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ 6.1.2 where the default configuration has been updated with 
authentication by default.

This issue is being tracked as AMQ-9477
