Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in Eclipse OpenMQ (version unknown). This affects an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a default credentials vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-1392. The product uses default credentials (such as passwords or cryptographic keys) for potentially critical functionality. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

OpenMQ exposes a TCP-based management service (imqbrokerd) that by default requires authentication. However, the product ships with a default administrative account (admin/ admin) and does not enforce a mandatory password change on first use. After the first successful login, the server continues to accept the default password indefinitely without warning or enforcement. In real-world deployments, this service is often left enabled without changing the default credentials. As a result, a remote attacker with access to the service port could authenticate as an administrator and gain full control of the protocol’s administrative features.

The weakness was disclosed by Camilo G.. The advisory is shared at gitlab.eclipse.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-22886 since 01/23/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 03/04/2026).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
