The CVE-2025-XXXX vulnerability in ActiveMQ Artemis AMQ Broker Operator arises due to static credential generation when deploying Custom Resource (CR) dependencies. The operator fails to regenerate passwords between separate CR instances, leading to credential reuse. This allows attackers with access to one instance to potentially compromise others sharing the same credentials. The flaw exists in the operator’s initialization logic, where password generation relies on a deterministic seed instead of a cryptographically secure randomizer.
DailyCVE Form
Platform: ActiveMQ Artemis
Version: <= 0.0.0-20250418141202
Vulnerability: Credential Reuse
Severity: Moderate
Date: May 26, 2025
Prediction: Patch by June 15, 2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
- Attackers extract credentials from a compromised pod.
- Reuse credentials across deployments.
- Brute-force weak static passwords.
Protection:
- Rotate all operator-generated credentials.
- Manually override default passwords.
- Apply network segmentation.
Analytics:
- Risk: Lateral movement.
- Impact: Unauthorized broker access.
- Exploitability: Medium.
Commands:
Check operator logs for credential generation: kubectl logs -l name=activemq-artemis-operator Force credential rotation: kubectl delete secret <broker-credentials>
Code:
Patch CRD to enforce randomness: apiVersion: broker.amq.io/v1 kind: ActiveMQArtemis spec: credentials: regenerate: true
Mitigation Script:
import secrets def generate_password(): return secrets.token_urlsafe(32)
Log Monitoring:
grep "Generated password" /var/log/artemis-operator.log
Network Rules:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 61616 -j DROP
References:
- Upgrade operator post-patch.
- Audit all broker deployments.
- Monitor for unexpected authentications.
