How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.activemq:artemis-openwire-protocol to version 2.53.0 or higher.

Overview

org.apache.activemq:artemis-openwire-protocol is a package for activemq.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the OpenWire protocol when an authenticated user with the createDurableQueue permission but without the createAddress permission attempts to create a non-durable JMS topic subscription on a non-existent address while address auto-creation is disabled. An attacker can create unauthorized temporary addresses by exploiting permission misconfiguration.

Note:

If the package is on the org.apache.activemq groupId, it is recommended to update to the org.apache.artemis groupId in the build file.
