Remote Code Execution Risk in Apache JMeter Server by Apache

CVE-2018-1287

What is CVE-2018-1287?

Apache JMeter versions 2.X and 3.X have a security vulnerability when configured for distributed testing using RMI. The issue arises from the jmeter server binding the RMI Registry to a wildcard host, potentially allowing unauthorized attackers to access the JMeter Engine and execute malicious code. This exposure highlights the importance of secure configuration practices to prevent unauthorized access in distributed testing environments.
