CVE-2023-26269 (GCVE-0-2023-26269)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-04-03 07:59 – Updated: 2025-02-13 16:44

Title

Apache James server: Privilege escalation through unauthenticated JMX

Summary

Apache James server version 3.7.3 and earlier provides a JMX management service without authentication by default. This allows privilege escalation by a malicious local user. Administrators are advised to disable JMX, or set up a JMX password. Note that version 3.7.4 onward will set up a JMX password automatically for Guice users.

Severity

7.8 (High)
