> The solr-tests.policy is currently way too lenient. Its useful for tests but pretty worthless at defending against any attacker "for real"
> For example imagine i can execute arbitrary java-ish code:
> {code}
> Runtime.getRuntime().exec("id");
> {code}
> With a security manager enabled, I'd get an exception like this:
> java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "<<ALL FILES>>" "execute")
> Because the current policy is so lenient and has wildcard RuntimePermission, the next thing i'd try (disable security manager, then launch process) would happily execute:
> {code}
> System.setSecurityManager(null);Runtime.getRuntime().exec("id");
> {code}
> That's because the current wildcard permission allows {{RuntimePermission("setSecurityManager")}}. 
> There are other variants I could use, some explained by java's docs: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/RuntimePermission.html
> It will take time and pain to clean up this stuff: e.g. fixing code and maybe even third-party dependencies, but gotta start somewhere. I think splitting up the wildcards is a good first step :)
