Untrusted code can bypass the security checks if its class loader is either the same or a delegation ancestor of the trusted code's class loader. Consequently, care should be taken while specifying the parent of a trusted class loader. Likewise, trusted code is forbidden to must not use any class loader instance supplied by untrusted code. For instance, a class loader instance obtained from untrusted code may never be used to load a trusted class that performs some sensitive operation. Also, a trusted class loader that performs security sensitive operations must never be made available to untrusted code by returning its instance.
