Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.81%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Symmetric DS <3.12.0 uses mx4j to provide access to JMX over HTTP. mx4j, by default, has no auth and is available on all interfaces. An attacker can interact with JMX: get system info, and invoke MBean methods. It is possible to install additional MBeans from a remote host using MLet that leads to arbitrary code execution.
