Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-17 00:25 – Updated: 2023-10-23 17:05

Summary

Apache James Privilege Escalation

Details

The JMX server embedded in Apache James, also used by the command line client is exposed to a java de-serialization issue, and thus can be used to execute arbitrary commands. As James exposes JMX socket by default only on local-host, this vulnerability can only be used for privilege escalation. Release 3.0.1 upgrades the incriminated library.

Severity

7.8 (High)
