Description
An unsafe parsing of OpenMQ's configuration in OpenMQ versions <6.5.2 and <6.9.0, allows a remote attacker to read arbitrary files from a MQ Broker's server. A full exploitation could read unauthorized files of the OpenMQ’s host OS. In some scenarios RCE could be achieved. This is fixed in OpenMQ 6.5.2, 6.9.0, and in GlassFish 7.0.26, 7.1.1, and 8.0.2.

AI Analysis

Impact

The description indicates that unsafe parsing permits a remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the MQ Broker’s server. It is inferred that the vulnerability involves a path traversal flaw, as it allows access to files outside the intended configuration directory, yet the description does not explicitly state this. In some scenarios remote code execution may also be achieved.

Affected Systems

The affected products are Eclipse OpenMQ and Eclipse GlassFish. Versions of OpenMQ prior to 6.5.2 and 6.9.0, and GlassFish versions prior to 7.0.26, 7.1.1, and 8.0.2, are vulnerable. Deployment using any of these products should verify the installed version and apply the vendor’s fixes.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 9.1, this is a severe vulnerability. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low current exploitation probability, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote, inferred from the ability to send crafted configuration data to the broker; the description does not explicitly state how the configuration interface is exposed. If such an attack can be carried out, the attacker could read arbitrary files or potentially execute code depending on the system.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest official OpenMQ patch or upgrade to a supported version that addresses the unsafe configuration parsing flaw.
  • Restrict network access to the OpenMQ management endpoint using firewall rules or VPNs so that only trusted hosts can modify configuration.
  • Enforce strict validation on the configuration parser to prevent path traversal and reject any request that attempts to access files outside the allowed directory structure.
