CVE-2016-3088 Details
Description
The Fileserver web application in Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.14.0 allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files via an HTTP PUT followed by an HTTP MOVE request.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in the Fileserver web application of Apache ActiveMQ versions 5.0.0 prior to 5.14.0. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files. The issue arises from improper input validation, enabling attackers to exploit the Fileserver's upload functionality by sending an HTTP PUT request followed by an HTTP MOVE request. The uploaded file, which can contain malicious code, is executed when the ActiveMQ service is restarted.
The Fileserver feature has been removed in ActiveMQ version 5.14.0. For users on older versions, it is recommended to disable the Fileserver application by commenting out the relevant lines in the 'jetty.xml' configuration file.
