Missing priviledged actions for isolating caller from permission checks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBAOP-95
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAOP-95
Project: JBoss AOP
Type: Bug
Reporter: Scott M Stark
The current security related aspects are not isolating their operations that
are subject to permission checks from the caller permission assigment using
priviledged actions. For example, the
org.jboss.aspects.security.AuthenticationInterceptor is using the
org.jboss.security.SecurityAssociation and all of its methods are subject to
permission checks. This call:
principal = SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal();
Should be:
principal = SecurityActions.getPrincipal();
where the SecurityActions class is a package private class like the following:
class SecurityActions
{
interface PrincipalActions
{
// Used when running under a security manager
PrincipalActions PRIVILEGED = new PrincipalActions()
{
private final PrivilegedAction exAction = new PrivilegedAction()
{
public Object run()
{
return SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal();
}
};
public Principal getPrincipal()
{
return (Principal) AccessController.doPrivileged(exAction);
}
};
// Used when not running under a security manager
PrincipalActions NON_PRIVILEGED = new PrincipalActions()
{
public Principal getPrincipal()
{
return SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal();
}
};
Principal getPrincipal();
}
static Principal getPrincipal()
{
if(System.getSecurityManager() == null)
{
return PrincipalActions.NON_PRIVILEGED.getPrincipal();
}
else
{
return PrincipalActions.PRIVILEGED.getPrincipal();
}
}
}
