Hi Team,

Thanks for your JavaMelody Monitoring Plugin.
 
I am using JavaMelody Monitoring Plugin and it is of great help.  As per our company policies, I would like to know the mode of delivery of security advices related to this plugin.
 
For example security advices of Atlassian products are delivered as per the instructions @ https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/Support/Severity+Levels+for+Security+Issues
 
THanks and REgards

Hi Prakash,

Yes of course.
.
.
Wait a minute.

Ah yes, I have forgotten to write that document.
So here it is:
If there is a declared (security) issue and if it is accepted, it will
be fixed ASAP with a new build available in 1 day and released in 2
months max.

You are welcome,
Emeric

@Emeric,

you forgot in the document how much you would pay when I find security problem :) :)

@Prakash

you must protect access to java melody only to admin users as javamelody features may be abused. You could kill running thread for instance or create heap dump.

Here is description how to setup basic authentication https://code.google.com/p/javamelody/wiki/UserGuide#16._Security
but I would recommend using same authentication as you have for your application + write your own servlet overloading the 
net.bull.javamelody.MonitoringFilter
and implement your own isRequestAllowed method to allow access only to some authorized users. I use ldap to store user data and I have there flag. User is not allowed to login if the flag is missing. That is ensured in the isRequestAllowed method

Regards,
Zdenek Henek
