Matt Sicker commented on LOG4J2-1820:
-------------------------------------

There's a check in LoaderUtil for the getClassLoader permission already. If you 
don't have that, then good luck running almost anything that isn't fully custom 
code.

With the security check for getting a ClassLoader, the possibility of a 
ClassLoader being null (which indicates the root ClassLoader basically), and 
various other edge cases, it almost makes me think that this is a class that 
needs to be abstracted, though I think it'd probably be overkill.

> When Log4j is rendering an exception, it can attempt to access a class loader 
> that it does not have permissions to access when a security manager is 
> present.
> I have a patch and a failing test case for this; I will submit it shortly.
> This is similar to LOG4J2-1560.
