CVE-2026-57967: Apache Artemis, Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: Missing authentication on CORE protocol session reattachment

CVE-2026-57967 affects Apache Artemis versions 2.50.0 through 2.56.0 and Apache ActiveMQ Artemis versions 1.0.0 through 2.44.0. An unauthenticated remote attacker can craft a malicious CORE protocol SESSION_REATTACH packet to hijack an existing authenticated session and execute commands within that session's privileges. The vulnerability stems from missing authentication checks on session reattachment functionality.

Why it matters: Organizations running affected Apache Artemis or ActiveMQ Artemis deployments face exposure to unauthenticated remote session hijacking, enabling attackers to execute operations with the privileges of legitimate users without credentials; patching or upgrading is required to block this attack vector.

vulnerabilities

CVE-2026-57967: Apache Artemis, Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: Missing authentication on CORE protocol session reattachment

CVE-2026-57967 is a critical authentication bypass in Apache Artemis and Apache ActiveMQ Artemis (CVSS 9.8) affecting versions 2.50.0 through 2.56.0 and 1.0.0 through 2.44.0 respectively. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit the CORE protocol to hijack an active session by sending a specially crafted reattachment packet, gaining access to operations within that session without credentials.

Why it matters: Organizations running vulnerable Artemis versions face immediate risk of unauthorized message broker access and potential lateral movement; patching or restricting CORE protocol access is urgent.
