attacker without access to the Tomcat process or configuration files is able to manipulate the RMI registry to
perform a man-in-the-middle attack to capture user names and passwords used to access the JMX interface. The
attacker can then use these credentials to access the JMX interface and gain complete control over the Tomcat
