Summary

The Apache James server, which includes an embedded JMX server, is vulnerable to a Java deserialization issue. This flaw allows for the execution of arbitrary commands through the JMX interface. By default, the JMX socket is exposed only on the local host, which means this vulnerability can lead to privilege escalation under certain conditions. To mitigate this risk, users are advised to upgrade to version 3.0.1, which addresses the insecure library that contributes to this vulnerability.

Affected Version(s)

Apache James 3.0.0
