CVE-2026-4649

Apache Artemis before version 2.52.0 is affected by an authentication bypass flaw which allows reading all messages exch

Apache Artemis before version 2.52.0 is affected by an authentication bypass flaw which allows reading all messages exchanged via the broker and injection of new message ( CVE-2026-27446 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord ). Since KNIME Business Hub uses Apache Artemis it is also affected by the issue. However, since Apache Artemis is not exposed to the outside it requires at least normal user privileges and the ability to execute workflows in an executor.

Such a user can install and register a federated mirror without authentication to the original Apache Artemis instance and thereby read all internal messages and inject new messages. The issue affects all versions of KNIME Business Hub. A fixed version of Apache Artemis is shipped with versions 1.18.0, 1.17.4, and 1.16.3.

We recommend updating to a fixed version as soon as possible since no workaround is known.

How to read a CVE - triage first, then detect and patch
This page is every public fact about CVE-2026-4649, cross-linked. Its job is to answer one question fast - does this need my attention now? - and then hand you the two things you do about it. Here is how an analyst reads it.
Triage: should I act now? Four signals, and they are not interchangeable:
CVSSseverity - how bad it is IF exploited, 0-10. A high CVSS alone is not urgency; a flaw can be a perfect 10 and never actually be attacked. EPSSprobability - a model’s estimate of the chance it is exploited in the next 30 days, 0-1. This is the “will it actually happen” signal. CISA KEVconfirmed - it is being exploited in the wild right now. The strongest signal on the page; KEV beats any score. Weaponisedavailability - public exploits / PoCs, and especially Metasploit modules rated Excellent / Great. Reliable, packaged exploit code means low-skill attackers can use it today.
How they combine: KEV, or a dependable Metasploit module, means patch now regardless of CVSS. High CVSS + low EPSS + no exploit is real but not an emergency - schedule it. Low CVSS but KEV-listed still gets patched now. The verdict above already weighed these for you; this is how it got there.
Then what - two workflows:
Detectwhen you cannot patch today, follow this CVE to the ATT&CK techniques it enables, then Build a SIEM detection (the green button) - author a rule, test it in Atomic, deploy it. That buys visibility while the patch waits. PatchAffected products / packages tell you if you are exposed; Fixed versions by distribution and Vendor advisories give the exact version that closes it.
Reading order for the panels below: verdict + badges, then Public exploits / Metasploit (is it weaponised), then ATT&CK techniques + Sigma / IDS rules (can I detect it), then Affected products / packages + Fixed versions (am I exposed, what patches it), then Threat actors / IOCs (who uses it), then Scoring & timeline / references (the evidence).
