public class WrapperPermission
extends BasicPermission

WrapperPermissions are used to control access to the various methods of the WrapperManager class.

Permission Target Name What the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission
restart Restart the JVM This is an extremely dangerous permission to grant. Malicious applications can restart the JVM as a denial of service attack.
stop Stop the JVM This is an extremely dangerous permission to grant. Malicious applications can stop the JVM as a denial of service attack.
stopImmediate Stop the JVM immediately without running the shutdown hooks This is an extremely dangerous permission to grant. Malicious applications can stop the JVM as a denial of service attack.
signalStarting Control the starting timeouts. Malicious code could set this to unrealistically small values as the application is starting, thus causing startup failures.
signalStopping Control the stopping timeouts. Malicious code could set this to unrealistically small values as the application is stopping, thus causing the application to fail to shutdown cleanly.
signalStopped Control when the Wrapper is told that the Application has stopped. Malicious code could call this before the application is actually stopped, thus causing the application to fail to shutdown cleanly.
log Sends log output to the Wrapper over the back end socket at a specific log level. Malicious code could send very large quanities of log output which could affect the performance of the Wrapper.
listServices Requests the status of all services currently installed on the system. Malicious code could use this information to find other weaknesses in the system.
