Consider, for example, signed Java applets. When a certificate is verified, on widely used platforms, the user is presented with a security dialog in which the option "Always trust the content from the publisher" is selected by default. The dialog primarily asks whether or not the signed code should be executed. Unfortunately, if the user confirms the dialog with the check box selected, the "Always trust..." setting overrides any future warning dialogs. An attacker can take advantage of this mechanism by exploiting vulnerable code signed by the trusted organization. In this case, the code will execute with the user's implied permission and can be freely exploited.
