Severity: moderate

Description:

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.

Work Arounds:

Note that version 3.7.4 onward will set up a JMX password automatically for Guice users.
