  - Unauthenticated RCE is possible when JMeter is used in distributed mode (-r or -R command line options).
    Attacker can establish a RMI connection to a jmeter-server using RemoteJMeterEngine and proceed with an
    attack using untrusted data deserialization. This only affect tests running in Distributed mode. Note that
    versions before 4.0 are not able to encrypt traffic between the nodes, nor authenticate the participating
    nodes so upgrade to JMeter 5.1 is also advised. (CVE-2019-0187)
