Apache ActiveMQ Web console cross-site request forgery
| activemq-web-console-csrf (57398) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Apache ActiveMQ is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the web console application. By persuading an authenticated user to visit a malicious Web site, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted HTTP request to perform unauthorized actions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform cross-site scripting attacks, Web cache poisoning, and other malicious activities.
