Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache ActiveMQ versions before 5.16.6 and from 5.17.0 before 5.17.4 are vulnerable. An authenticated user can reach the Jolokia management endpoint and trigger arbitrary code execution on Java 11 and later, which may allow writing a file to the server. Upgrade to 5.16.6, 5.17.4, or a later release; the source also notes that restricting or disabling Jolokia is a mitigation.
