CVE-2016-3088

Apache ActiveMQ's Fileserver web app allowed remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files via HTTP PUT and MOVE requests.

The Fileserver component in Apache ActiveMQ suffered from improper input validation, enabling remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files. This is a critical failure for DIB organizations because it directly enables remote code execution (RCE), which can lead to full system compromise, data exfiltration, and ransomware deployment. Organizations must ensure ActiveMQ is patched to the latest version and restrict Fileserver access or disable it if not required.

Shame score — An open-source messaging broker with a known, actively exploited vulnerability (KEV) that allowed remote code execution via a common HTTP PUT/MOVE attack vector, indicating a lack of timely patching and basic input validation.
