untrusted users are allowed to configure JMS for Apache CXF, previously they could use RMI or LDAP URLs, potentially 
leading to code execution capabilities. This interface is now restricted to reject those protocols, removing this 
possibility.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
