"The version of Apache ActiveMQ running on the remote host is prior to 5.19.3 / 5.19.4 or 6.x prior to 6.2.2 / 6.2.3.
It is, therefore, affected by an improper validation and restriction of classpath path name vulnerability:

  - An authenticated user could exploit path concatenation to traverse the classpath in two specific contexts: when
    creating a Stomp consumer and when browsing messages via the Web console. This vulnerability enables classpath path
    resource loading that could potentially be combined with other attacks for exploitation. (CVE-2026-33227)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
