How to Fix CVE-2026-40914

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Artemis stomp protocol dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.apache.artemis:artemis-stomp-protocol fixed: 2.54.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.artemis</groupId>
    <artifactId>artemis-stomp-protocol</artifactId>
    <version>2.54.0</version>
</dependency>
org.apache.artemis:artemis-stomp-protocol fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.artemis</groupId>
    <artifactId>artemis-stomp-protocol</artifactId>
    <version>Latest secure release</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.artemis

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-40914, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.artemis

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Artemis stomp protocol in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.54.0), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.artemis command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, where the product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. In Artemis stomp protocol, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability exists in Apache Artemis whereby an application using the STOMP protocol with security credentials that grant either the consume or send permission on an address can augment the routing-type supported by that address even if said user doesn't have the createAddress permission for that particular address. A user could successfully send a message to an address or consume a message from a queue with a routing-type not supported by the corresponding address when that operation should actually be rejected on the basis that the user doesn't have permission to change the routing-type of the address. Even though the user was already granted permission to send and/or consume messages, they should not be able to augment the routing-type of the address without the createAddress permission. This issue affects Apache Artemis: from 2.50.0 through 2.53.0; Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: from 2.0.0 through 2.44.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.54.0, which fixes the issue.
