CVE-2025-27391: Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: Passwords leaking from broker properties in the debug log

[Domenico Francesco Bruscino <brusdev () apache org>]

Affected versions:

- Apache ActiveMQ Artemis 1.5.1 before 2.40.0

Description:

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ Artemis. All the values of the broker 
properties are logged when the org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.config.impl.ConfigurationImpl logger has the debug 
level enabled.

This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ Artemis: from 1.5.1 before 2.40.0. It can be mitigated by restricting log access to 
only trusted users.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.40.0, which fixes the issue.
