Title: Sun JRE/SDK Clipboard Tapping Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
An applet running under vulnerabile version of the Sun java runtime environment has access to the system clipboard, even when this access has not been granted. In the default java security model for applets, this access should not be allowed.
This may allow a malicious applet to gain access to potentially sensitive information in the system clipboard. The applet may expose this information to a remote attacker.
