Eclipse Foundation Openmq vulnerabilities

An unsafe parsing of OpenMQ's configuration in OpenMQ versions <6.5.2 and <6.9.0, allows a remote attacker to read arbitrary files from a MQ Broker's server. A full exploitation could read unauthorized files of the OpenMQ’s host OS. In some scenarios RCE could be achieved. This is fixed in OpenMQ 6.5.2, 6.9.0, and in GlassFish 7.0.26, 7.1.1, and 8.0.2.

OpenMQ exposes a TCP-based management service (imqbrokerd) that by default requires authentication. However, the product ships with a default administrative account (admin/ admin) and does not enforce a mandatory password change on first use. After the first successful login, the server continues to accept the default password indefinitely without warning or enforcement. In real-world deployments, this service is often left enabled without changing the default credentials. As a result, a remote attacker with access to the service port could authenticate as an administrator and gain full control of the protocol’s administrative features.
