Description
Exposure of Sensitive Information Through Metadata vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ All.
Brokers that are configured with a network connector with syncDurableSubs set to true, are vulnerable to an unauthenticated attacker who can receive a list of all durable topic subscriptions in the broker, including client identifiers, subscription names, topic destinations, and JMS selector expressions, by sending a BrokerInfo command. The broker incorrectly responds without first ensuring the connection is authenticated.
This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6; Apache ActiveMQ: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6; Apache ActiveMQ All: before 5.19.7, from 6.0.0 before 6.2.6.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.6 or 5.19.7, which fixes the issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.activemq:apache-activemq. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.apache.activemq:apache-activemq to 5.19.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hf52-78x8-6w3w is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-hf52-78x8-6w3w is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-hf52-78x8-6w3w. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-hf52-78x8-6w3w in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-hf52-78x8-6w3w across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
