Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code

Question

I am trying to run a Jmeter test on remote machine ( macOS sierraO). I configured jp@gc - Chrome Driver Config and I can connect to the slave machine. However,

Answer 1

I could not pass any parameters to chromedriver from p@gc - Chrome Driver Config directly, my config looks like:

where my chromedriver.dir was chromedirver.dir=vu.chromedriver.dir=/path/to/chromedriver However, I was able to work around it by adding:

1. workaround.sh for macOS

   #!/usr/bin/env bash /path/to/chromedriver --whitelist-ip $*

2. workaround.bat for Windows

   \\src\\path\\to\\chromedriver.exe --whitelist-ip %*

And that solved my issue for making chromedriver to accept remote connections.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. I fixed by changing to Chromedriver version 80.0.3987.106
