Christopher, the description below specifies the vulnerability as "before 
5.19.4" but recommends upgrade to 5.19.5.

The website (https://activemq.apache.org/components/classic/download/) has 
5.19.4 available for download (03/31/2026) but lists 5.19.3 (03/24/2026) as 
latest/last.

Can you update the website to reflect 5.19.4 as latest/last and clarify 
whether/when 5.19.5 will be released or if its mention is just a typo?

Thanks,

Subject: **External Email** CVE-2026-34197: Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache 
ActiveMQ: Authenticated users could perform RCE via Jolokia MBeans

Severity: important

Affected versions:

- Apache ActiveMQ Broker (org.apache.activemq:activemq-broker) before 5.19.4
- Apache ActiveMQ Broker (org.apache.activemq:activemq-broker) 6.0.0 before 
6.2.3
- Apache ActiveMQ (org.apache.activemq:activemq-all) before 5.19.4
- Apache ActiveMQ (org.apache.activemq:activemq-all) 6.0.0 before 6.2.3

Description:

Improper Input Validation, Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code 
Injection') vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ.

Apache ActiveMQ Classic exposes the Jolokia JMX-HTTP bridge at /api/jolokia/ on 
the web console. The default Jolokia access policy permits exec operations on 
all ActiveMQ MBeans (org.apache.activemq:*), including
BrokerService.addNetworkConnector(String) and 
BrokerService.addConnector(String).

An authenticated attacker can invoke these operations with a crafted discovery 
URI that triggers the VM transport's brokerConfig parameter to load a remote 
Spring XML application context using ResourceXmlApplicationContext.
Because Spring's ResourceXmlApplicationContext instantiates all singleton beans 
before the BrokerService validates the configuration, arbitrary code execution 
occurs on the broker's JVM through bean factory methods such as Runtime.exec().
This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.4, from 6.0.0 before 
6.2.3; Apache ActiveMQ: .

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.19.5 or 6.2.3, which fixes the 
issue.
