Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—
The default configuration of Apache ActiveMQ before 5.8.0 enables a sample web application, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (broker resource consumption) via HTTP requests.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 7.77%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 94
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
