* The target name is the name of the Serializable permission (see below). * *

* The following table lists all the possible SerializablePermission target names, * and for each provides a description of what the permission allows * and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission. *

Permission Target NameWhat the Permission AllowsRisks of Allowing this Permission
enableSubclassImplementationSubclass implementation of ObjectOutputStream or ObjectInputStream * to override the default serialization or deserialization, respectively, * of objectsCode can use this to serialize or * deserialize classes in a purposefully malfeasant manner. For example, * during serialization, malicious code can use this to * purposefully store confidential private field data in a way easily accessible * to attackers. Or, during deserialization it could, for example, deserialize * a class with all its private fields zeroed out.
enableSubstitutionSubstitution of one object for another during * serialization or deserializationThis is dangerous because malicious code * can replace the actual object with one which has incorrect or * malignant data.
