VAR-201710-0923
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:04The 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. Apache James Server Contains a vulnerability in the deserialization of unreliable data.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Apache James is prone to an arbitrary command-execution vulnerability. This may aid in further attacks. Apache James versions prior to 3.0.1 are affected
