Privilege Escalation

org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina-jmx-remote is a maven plugin for Tomcat Remote JMX listener.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. When Tomcat is configured with the JMX Remote Lifecycle Listener, a local attacker without access to the Tomcat process or configuration files is able to manipulate the RMI registry to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to capture user names and passwords used to access the JMX interface. The attacker can then use these credentials to access the JMX interface and gain complete control over the Tomcat instance.

How to fix Privilege Escalation?

Upgrade org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina-jmx-remote to version 9.0.14, 8.5.49, 7.0.99 or higher.

Arbitrary Code Execution

org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina-jmx-remote Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. The JmxRemoteLifecycleListener was not updated to take account of Oracle's fix for CVE-2016-3427. Therefore, Tomcat installations using this listener remained vulnerable to a similar remote code execution vulnerability. This issue has been rated as important rather than critical due to the small number of installations using this listener and that it would be highly unusual for the JMX ports to be accessible to an attacker even when the listener is used.
