Summary
Apache James's official Docker docker-compose setup publicly exposes the WebAdmin REST API without proper authentication, so anyone who can reach it can use its unprotected endpoints. The problem affects the default compose configuration, not a manual installation.

Read the original description
Some docker-compose shipped by the project exposes by default Webadmin REST API publically without proper authentication setup. Version 3.9.1 onward sets a random credential by default on unprotected webadmin endpoints to prevent this while retain convenience.
