Medium (5.5). EPSS 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.apache.activemq:artemis-commons 2.13.0.
A flaw was found in ActiveMQ Artemis management API from version 2.7.0 up until 2.12.0, where a user inadvertently stores passwords in plaintext in the Artemis shadow file (etc/artemis-users.properties file) when executing the `resetUsers` operation. A local attacker can use this flaw to read the contents of the Artemis shadow file.
