------------------------------------

             Summary: Applications may be able to use StorageFactoryService to delete Derby databases and overwrite service.properties.
                 Key: DERBY-6632
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6632
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Services
    Affects Versions: 10.11.0.0
            Reporter: Rick Hillegas


Various powerful methods in StorageFactoryService are public. I have not verified the following with an experiment, but it appears to me that these methods give any code running in the JVM the ability to elevate privileges to those granted to Derby and do the following:

1) Delete Derby databases via the following methods:

{noformat}
org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.StorageFactoryService createServiceRoot()
org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.StorageFactoryService getServiceProperties()
org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.StorageFactoryService getStorageFactoryInstance()
org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.StorageFactoryService removeServiceRoot()
{noformat}

2) Overwrite service.properties via overloads of the following method:

{noformat}
org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.StorageFactoryService createServiceRoot()
{noformat}
