Apache CXF has the ability to integrate with JMX by registering an InstrumentationManager
extension with the CXF bus. If the createMBServerConnectorFactory
property of the default InstrumentationManagerImpl
is not disabled, then it is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle (MITM) style attack. An attacker on the same host can connect to the registry and rebind the entry to another server, thus acting as a proxy to the original. They are then able to gain access to all of the information that is sent and received over JMX.
