A flaw was found in ActiveMQ Artemis management API from version 2.7.0 up until 2.12.0, where a user inadvertently stores passwords in plaintext in the Artemis shadow file (etc/artemis-users.properties file) when executing the `resetUsers` operation. A local attacker can use this flaw to read the contents of the Artemis shadow file.
Update org.apache.activemq:artemis-commons to 2.13.0 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

hol-guard supply-chain scanActiveMQ Artemis has Insufficiently Protected Credentials affects org.apache.activemq:artemis-commons (maven). Severity is medium. A flaw was found in ActiveMQ Artemis management API from version 2.7.0 up until 2.12.0, where a user inadvertently stores passwords in plaintext in the Artemis shadow file (etc/artemis-users.properties file) when executing the `resetUsers` operation. A local attacker can use this flaw to read the contents of the Artemis shadow file.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in maven. A medium vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
