CVE-2015-1830

75
FAUCET Score

CVE-2015-1830 is a directory traversal vulnerability affecting Apache ActiveMQ versions 5.x before 5.11.2 on Windows. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create JSP files in arbitrary directories through the fileserver upload/download functionality for blob messages. With a CVSS score of 5.0, it has a low attack complexity and can lead to unauthorized file creation, though it does not directly impact confidentiality or availability. While not listed on the KEV catalog, exploit code, including a Metasploit module, is publicly available, and its high EPSS score (0.86019) indicates a significant likelihood of exploitation. Despite this, there is minimal community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
