"The version of Apache Artemis (formerly Apache ActiveMQ Artemis) installed on the remote host is
affected by a vulnerability:

  - A vulnerability exists in Apache Artemis whereby an application using the STOMP protocol with
    security credentials that grant either the consume or send permission on an address can augment
    the routing-type supported by that address even if said user doesn't have the createAddress
    permission for that particular address. A user could successfully send a message to an address
    or consume a message from a queue with a routing-type not supported by the corresponding address
    when that operation should actually be rejected on the basis that the user doesn't have
    permission to change the routing-type of the address. Even though the user was already granted
    permission to send and/or consume messages, they should not be able to augment the routing-type
    of the address without the createAddress permission. (CVE-2026-40914)

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