Descriptions

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Artemis. All the values of the broker properties are logged when the org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.config.impl.ConfigurationImpl logger has the debug level enabled. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: from 1.5.1 before 2.40.0. It can be mitigated by restricting log access to only trusted users. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.40.0, which fixes the issue.
