Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from InstrumentationManagerImpl
's default behavior of enabling MBServerConnectorFactory
via the createMBServerConnectorFactory
property. This factory creates a JMX
connector server that registers an insecure RMI
registry entry, allowing local attackers to rebind it. The commit diff shows removal of MBServerConnectorFactory
-related code as mitigation, confirming these components' role in the vulnerability.
