Solution

This issue is fixed in ActiveMQ Content Pack 1.1.15 and all later versions. You can download the content pack from https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/details/ActiveMQ/.

You should use new ActiveMQ credentials for ActiveMQ integration only after you upgrade it to a fixed version. You should also revoke the previously existing credentials to prevent the misuse of exposed credentials.
