Security researcher Georgi Guninski reported an issue with
Java applets where in some circumstances the applet could access files on the
local system when loaded using the a file:/// URI and violate file
origin policy due to interaction with the codebase parameter. This
affects applets running on the local file system. Mozilla developer John
Schoenick later discovered that fixes for this issue were inadequate
and allowed the invocation of Java applets to bypass security checks in
additional circumstances. This could lead to untrusted Java applets having
read-only access on the local files system if used in conjunction with a method
to download a file to a known or guessable path.");
