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
An ActiveMQ Discovery service was reachable by default from an OpenEdge Management installation when an OEE/OEM auto-discovery feature was activated.  Unauthorized access to the discovery service's UDP port allowed content injection into parts of the OEM web interface making it possible for other types of attack that could spoof or deceive web interface users.   Unauthorized use of the OEE/OEM discovery service was remediated by deactivating the discovery service by default.

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

The ActiveMQ Discovery service UDP port was exposed by default in OpenEdge Management when the OEE/OEM auto-discovery feature was activated. This allowed unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary content into parts of the OEM web interface through the discovery mechanism, enabling spoofing and social engineering attacks against users.

MitigationDeactivate the OEE/OEM auto-discovery feature when not required, and ensure the ActiveMQ Discovery UDP port is not accessible from untrusted networks.

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. Verify OpenEdge Management is installed
    Identify if Progress OpenEdge Management (OEM) is running in your environment by checking for OEM processes or web interface access
    Affected if OEM is installed and running
  2. Check the installed OpenEdge version
    Locate the OpenEdge installation and determine the exact version number installed in your environment
    Affected if The version is 11.7.19 or earlier, 12.2.14 or earlier, or 12.8.0 through 12.8.2
  3. Determine if OEE/OEM auto-discovery is enabled
    Examine the OEM configuration to verify whether the auto-discovery feature is currently active
    Affected if The auto-discovery feature is enabled and running
  4. Check for ActiveMQ Discovery UDP port exposure
    Verify if UDP port 1199 (or the configured discovery port) is accessible from your network interfaces and potentially from untrusted networks
    Affected if The ActiveMQ Discovery UDP port is exposed and accessible from untrusted networks

Your environment is affected if you are running a vulnerable OpenEdge version with the OEE/OEM auto-discovery feature enabled and the ActiveMQ Discovery UDP port is exposed to untrusted networks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 12.8.3 or later
Fixed in 12.8.3
Interim mitigation

Deactivate the OEE/OEM auto-discovery feature when not required, and ensure the ActiveMQ Discovery UDP port is not accessible from untrusted networks.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

12.8.3 (for 12.8.x branches); 12.2.15+ (for 12.2.x branches); 11.7.20+ (for 11.7.x branches)

  1. In OpenEdge Management (OEM) or OpenEdge Explorer (OEE), navigate to the discovery service configuration
  2. Disable or deactivate the ActiveMQ discovery service that was auto-discovered
  3. Alternatively, ensure the UDP multicast port used by the discovery service is blocked or not accessible from untrusted networks
  4. After disabling the discovery service, verify that the OEM/OEE web interface no longer accepts injected content from the discovery channel
  5. Restart the OEM/OEE web server if required to apply configuration changes
Caveat Disabling the discovery service may affect auto-discovery features; verify that required monitoring and discovery functionality still works after disabling
