What are Java RMI and JMX?
RMI exposes remote Java objects. JMX often rides over RMI to provide management and monitoring surfaces.

Common security issues

  • Unauthenticated or weakly authenticated JMX management endpoints

  • Remote invocation surfaces enabling high-impact control paths

  • Unsafe Java object handling patterns on exposed endpoints

  • Management planes reachable from user networks instead of admin-only segments
