GHSA-443j-grxv-2pgv: Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: Authenticated users could perform RCE via Jolokia MBeans

Apache ActiveMQ Artemis allows access to diagnostic information and controls through MBeans, which are also exposed through the authenticated Jolokia endpoint. Before version 2.29.0, this also included the Log4J2 MBean. This MBean is not meant for exposure to non-administrative users. This could eventually allow an authenticated attacker to write arbitrary files to the filesystem and indirectly achieve RCE. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.29.0 or later, which fixes the issue.

Apache log4j2 Code Execution

Log4j 2.15.0 was released to address the widely reported JNDI Remote Code Execution (RCE) (CVE-2021-44228) vulnerability in Log4j. Shortly thereafter, 2.16.0 was released to address a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability (CVE-2021-45046). When examining the 2.15.0 release, Google security engineers found several issues with the Log4j 2.15.0 patch that showed that the severity of the issue addressed in 2.16 was in fact worse than initially understood. This is Google's proof of concept exploit.
