Description David Jorm 2012-11-01 01:52:16 EDT

If multiple applications use the same custom authorization module class name, and provide their own implementations of it, the first application to be loaded will have its implementation used for all applications using the same custom authorization module class name. A local attacker could use this flaw to deploy a malicious application that provides implementations of custom authorization modules that permit or deny user access according to rules supplied by the attacker.
