How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable activemq to version 5.16.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream activemq package and not the activemq package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The optional ActiveMQ LDAP login module can be configured to use anonymous access to the LDAP server. In this case, for Apache ActiveMQ Artemis prior to version 2.16.0 and Apache ActiveMQ prior to versions 5.16.1 and 5.15.14, the anonymous context is used to verify a valid users password in error, resulting in no check on the password.
