Apache ActiveMQ Joins the KEV Party
CISA has kindly invited Apache ActiveMQ to its list of exploited vulnerabilities due to poor input validation. It's heartening to know the hackers found it before the admins did.

The Full Story
Our friends at CISA have added CVE-2026-34197 to their ever-growing catalog of things we should have fixed months ago, focusing on an Apache ActiveMQ flaw being actively exploited by anyone with a keyboard. This mess affects anyone brave or foolish enough to run unpatched message brokers, proving once again that input validation is merely a suggestion in the software world. To prevent the inevitable misery of a system compromise, we are expected to drop everything and apply urgent remediation before the weekend arrives. It’s a classic tale of reactive security that keeps us all gainfully, if exhaustedly, employed.
