I might be misreading the comment on that line, but reading this if/else block
a few times, I'm unsure what the expectations here are.
It's my understanding that a call to `getContextClassLoader()` can't be trusted
if that method has been overridden by the passed `Thread` type. In such cases,
we don't call that method and instead just use the field value of
`contextClassLoader` (which is a private field on `Thread`). Is that
understanding correct? If yes, then the condition in the `if` block a few lines
above, looks odd. It seems to be calling the `getContextClassLoader()` if that
method is overridden by the passed `Thread` type, i.e. the untrusted case.
Should it instead be:
if (sm == null || !isCCLOverridden(parent.getClass())) {
return parent.getContextClassLoader();
}
(notice the negation)
