Tobias Bocanegra commented on JCRVLT-427: ----------------------------------------- [~angela] thanks for your input. The hooks are arbitrary java code that is provided by the package and is executed during installation. Although they are running on the same session the user uses to install the package, they still can do nasty things like `system.exit()`. That's why filevault doesn't allow to install packages with hooks by non-admins. > Allow installation of packages with hook for users without admin privileges > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JCRVLT-427 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-427 > Project: Jackrabbit FileVault > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: vlt > Reporter: Konrad Windszus > Assignee: Konrad Windszus > Priority: Major > Fix For: 3.4.6 > > > Currently due to the check in > https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-filevault/blob/e257001ec22ea06bcc987cbf79f0cc9b15c4e186/vault-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/vault/packaging/impl/ZipVaultPackage.java#L184 > packages containing a hook can only be installed by admins. > Although I do understand the intent of that I think this is not flexible > enough as currently that only gives the rights to users "admin", "system" or > members of group "administrators".
