Machine-written summary

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

Apache ActiveMQ (apache-activemq, activemq-all and activemq-broker) versions before 5.19.6 and from 6.0.0 before 6.2.5 are vulnerable. An authenticated attacker can bypass an earlier fix by adding a connector that uses an HTTP discovery transport through Jolokia, which can lead to remote code execution on the broker's JVM. Upgrade to 5.19.6 or 6.2.5.
