The version of Apache ActiveMQ running on the remote host is 5.x prior to 5.14.2. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the web-based administration console due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to follow a specially crafted link, to execute arbitrary script code in a user’s browser session.
