Description David Jorm 2012-11-07 20:16:30 EST

When the JMX Invoker was configured to restrict access to users with specific roles, the AuthorizationInterceptor threw an exception if an authenticated user not in the specified roles attempted to perform an operation. However, despite throwing an exception, the operation was still performed. A remote attacker with valid JMX Invoker credentials could use this flaw to perform JMX operations accessible to roles they are not a member of.
