CVE-2025-58712: Apache ActiveMQ-Artemis

Medium severity, CVSS 6.4. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A container privilege escalation flaw was found in certain AMQ Broker images. This issue stems from the /etc/passwd file being created with group-writable permissions during build time. In certain conditions, an attacker who can execute commands within an affected container, even as a non-root user, can leverage their membership in the root group to modify the /etc/passwd file. This could allow the attacker to add a new user with any arbitrary UID, including UID 0, leading to full root privileges within the container.

Affected products

• Apache ActiveMQ-Artemis
• Red Hat Red Hat Amq Broker 7
• Red Hat Rhel-9 Based Middleware Containers: before 7.13.2-1 (fixed in 7.13.2-1)
