The MRJ fails to properly enforce the security controls of the Java runtime environment when the values of the ARCHIVE parameter and the CODEBASE parameter conflict. This may allow a malicious Java applet downloaded from a website to access the local filesystem or unauthorized websites when executed. Properly exploited, this vulnerability can allow an attacker to further compromise the security of the affected host.
