Security issue with sjxeni

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We install jboss eap 6.1 on some nodes that are hosted on rackspace, they detect a malicious binary inside jboss home user . Can you help us to confirm this?
  • I was able to identify a single file in the /home/jboss directory named sjxeni which leads me to believe that the file is malicious. Here is some output from the machine:
[root@localhost ~]# ps aux | grep [s]jxeni
