Descriptions

In Apache ActiveMQ 6.x, the default configuration doesn't secure the API web context (where the Jolokia JMX REST API and the Message REST API are located).
It means that anyone can use these layers without any required authentication. Potentially, anyone can interact with the broker (using Jolokia JMX REST API) and/or produce/consume messages or purge/delete destinations (using the Message REST API).

To mitigate, users can update the default conf/jetty.xml configuration file to add authentication requirement:
<bean id="securityConstraintMapping" class="org.eclipse.jetty.security.ConstraintMapping">
  <property name="constraint" ref="securityConstraint" />
  <property name="pathSpec" value="/" />
</bean>

Or we encourage users to upgrade to Apache ActiveMQ 6.1.2 where the default configuration has been updated with authentication by default.

En Apache ActiveMQ 6.x, la configuración predeterminada no protege el contexto web de la API (donde se encuentran la API REST de Jolokia JMX y la API REST de mensajes). Significa que cualquiera puede utilizar estas capas sin necesidad de autenticación. Potencialmente, cualquiera puede interactuar con el corredor (usando la API REST de Jolokia JMX) y/o producir/consumir mensajes o purgar/eliminar destinos (usando la API REST de mensajes). Para mitigar, los usuarios pueden actualizar el archivo de configuración predeterminado conf/jetty.xml para agregar el requisito de autenticación: O recomendamos a los usuarios que actualicen a Apache ActiveMQ 6.1.2, donde la configuración predeterminada se actualizó con autenticación de forma predeterminada.
