Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-13993:
-------------------------------------
Attached patch exercises the test security manager which does the trick (when
run from `ant test`). Testing without the security manager (from IntelliJ)
fails two of those tests appropriately.

> This thing seems dangerous :)
> Making the whole solr secure is a whole nother thing: (see e.g. SOLR-13991
> and we haven't even gotten started). Its pretty difficult to convert whole
> large app to work securely. It is going to take time.
> In the meantime, if we have things that might do something dangerous, and
> security manager is enabled, we can put them into a special little sandbox
> and throw away the key: for example we can intentionally discard permissions
> we don't need so they can't launch stuff, if we really don't trust them, we
> can start filtering what classes classloader will load.
> This isn't that crazy at all to do, e.g. your web browser does similar tricks
> to try to sandbox specific parts that might do something unexpected and cause
> security issue.
