The key phrase is "anyone who can reach it".  If everyone within your firewall 
is fully trusted, then don't worry about it.  If not everyone is fully trusted, 
then your current settings allow those persons to make arbitrary changes to the 
configuration of Tomcat and your webapps with rather limited tracking of who 
did what.  The MBeans exposed by the JMX interface are not just viewable, they 
are modifiable by anyone with access.
