Technical details
The vulnerability is an information disclosure flaw in the CORE protocol handler of Apache Artemis. An attacker can send a SUBSCRIBE_TOPOLOGY request before completing the authentication handshake, allowing them to enumerate cluster node details without credentials. The attack requires network access to the broker's CORE protocol port and no user interaction. A successful exploit reveals cluster topology information that could facilitate reconnaissance or targeted attacks against the message broker cluster. Patches are available in version 2.57.0 and later.
