According to the technical note Permissions in the Java SE 6 Development Kit [Permissions 2008], Section ReflectPermission, target suppressAccessChecks
:
Warning: Extreme caution should be taken before granting this permission to code, for it provides the ability to access fields and invoke methods in a class. This includes not only public, but protected and private fields and methods as well.
RuntimePermission
, createClassLoader
The permission java.lang.RuntimePermission
applied to target createClassLoader
grants code the permission to create a ClassLoader
object. This permission is extremely dangerous because malicious code can create its own custom class loader and load classes by assigning them arbitrary permissions. A custom class loader can define a class (or ProtectionDomain
) with permissions that override any restrictions specified in the systemwide security policy file.
Permissions in the Java SE 6 Development Kit [Permissions 2008] states:
This is an extremely dangerous permission to grant. Malicious applications that can instantiate their own class loaders could then load their own rogue classes into the system. These newly loaded classes could be placed into any protection domain by the class loader, thereby automatically granting the classes the permissions for that domain.
