Mitigation

Users are advised to use other FTP and HTTP based file servers for transferring blob messages. Fileserver web application SHOULD NOT be used in older version of the broker and it should be disabled (it has been disabled by default since 5.12.0). This can be done by removing (commenting out) the following lines from conf\jetty.xml file

<bean class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
    <property name="contextPath" value="/fileserver" />
    <property name="resourceBase" value="${activemq.home}/webapps/fileserver" />
    <property name="logUrlOnStart" value="true" />
    <property name="parentLoaderPriority" value="true" />
</bean>
