public final class ReflectPermission extends BasicPermission
The following table provides a summary description of what the permission allows, and discusses the risks of granting code the permission.
| Permission Target Name | What the Permission Allows | Risks of Allowing this Permission |
|---|---|---|
| suppressAccessChecks | ability to suppress the standard Java language access checks on fields and methods in a class; allow access not only public members but also allow access to default (package) access, protected, and private members. | This is dangerous in that information (possibly confidential) and methods normally unavailable would be accessible to malicious code. |
| newProxyInPackage.{package name} | ability to create a proxy instance in the specified package of which the non-public interface that the proxy class implements. | This gives code access to classes in packages to which it normally does not have access and the dynamic proxy class is in the system protection ___domain. Malicious code may use these classes to help in its attempt to compromise security in the system. |
