> Key: DERBY-6632
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6632
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Services
> Affects Versions: 10.11.1.1
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
> Fix For: 10.12.0.0
>
>
> 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}
