CVE-2026-50750 — Denial of Service via Out of Memory vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ All

High CVSS 7.5

Denial of Service via Out of Memory vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Broker, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache ActiveMQ All. Following the fix for CVE-2026-49270 an unauthenticated attacker can now cause broker OOM by sending an repeated BrokerInfo commands without sending a ConnectionInfo, until the broker will crash with OOM. This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Broker: from 5.19.7 before 5.19.8, from 6.2.6 before 6.2.7; Apache ActiveMQ: from 5.19.7 before 5.19.8, from 6.2.6 before 6.2.7; Apache ActiveMQ All: from 5.19.7 before 5.19.8, from 6.2.6 before 6.2.7. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.2.7, which fixes the issue.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
