The attacker can create a new instance of MyPrivacy class by using a cloneable subclass and by-pass the constructor.
Bypassing the constructor leads to bypassing the password check done in the constructor.

Code Block
bgColor#ffcccc
class Test extends MyPrivacy implements Cloneable{
    
    public static void somefunction(MyPrivacy obj) {
        
	try {
            Test t = (Test)obj.clone()
        }catch(Exception e) {
            System.out.println("not cloneable");
        }
        if (t != null)
            t.use(); // Another object instantiated without knowing the password.....
    }
}
