Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In Apache ActiveMQ Artemis prior to 2.24.0, an attacker could show malicious content and/or redirect users to a malicious URL in the web console by using HTML in the name of an address or queue.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

This is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Apache ActiveMQ Artemis web console. An attacker can inject malicious HTML/JavaScript into the name field of an address or queue. When legitimate users view these names in the web console, the injected code executes, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or redirection to malicious sites.

MitigationUpgrade to Apache ActiveMQ Artemis version 2.24.0 or later which includes proper input sanitization for address and queue names in the web console.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Apache Artemis version
    Check the version of Apache Artemis by examining the lib/artemis-server-*.jar file name, running 'artemis --version', or checking the version.properties file in the installation directory
    Affected if The version is below 2.24.0
  2. Verify web console is accessible
    Confirm the Artemis web console is enabled and reachable by accessing the console URL (default: http://localhost:8161/hawtio) or checking the bootstrap.xml configuration file for web server settings
    Affected if The web console is enabled and exposed
  3. Check for NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager
    Identify if NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager is installed by checking for its installation directory or running service process, as all versions are affected
    Affected if The product is installed and running with web interface accessible
  4. Inspect queue and address names in configuration
    Examine the broker configuration XML files (broker.xml or related configuration) for any queue or address names that may contain HTML or script tags, or check via the web console address/queue list views
    Affected if Queue or address names contain unsanitized HTML or JavaScript content

You are affected if you run Apache Artemis versions below 2.24.0 or any version of NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager/Oncommand Workflow Automation with the web console accessible and no input validation on queue/address names.
