How do you tighten the pipe coming out of the wall so that when you move it with your hand, the pipe won't move?
The pipe is coming out horizontally, so pipe straps probably won't work, do you use glue, cement, stucco or ?
Thanks

Update:
It's inside the wall, so I can't see it and access to it.
Just to make things clear, would the loose pipe be a problem at all? I'm just scare that the pipe will break, and the water is running all over inside the wall.

All good suggestions and will do the job. You may also consider looking from the other side if you have or can gain access to it. The pipe should be next to a stud and the bracket probably got loose. Fixing that and than putting some silicone caulking from both sides would be the best solution.
Good Luck!

Since you don't state the substance of the wall; one can only assume.
I'd really; probably give the 10 to BITTY, but will add my two cents. If you suspect no leaking now; why not just attach TWO collars. By moving the pipe to a situation you feel appropriate; attach a "Collar/Sleeve" to the pipe on that side of the wall, then to the other area of pipe on the other side of the wall; to snug it up. It will stop the "back and forth", won't be at all messy; or be as IFFY as caulk or concrete/ adhesives; etc; and the collars can be removed; or moved should the need ever arise.

You also didn't mention any degradation in the wall you didn't detail.

A bit of a pain. Can't get behind it from the inside and put a block of wood behind it?
You may also use wood wedges in combination with the pipe straps and glue. and PL400. Cement and stucco, will let go after they dry. Bout as good as one can do and what is necessary.

Easiest fix is to caulk around the pipe with silicone caulk. It will hold the pipe and can be removed if necessary.

You could buy a round metal piece like goes around a shower pipe and put a couple screws in it.

latex fortified patching cement. it will stick to old cement
It probably don't need anything at all if your not in the habit of grabbing and wiggling the pipe.
