Karel Hübl commented on PIVOT-965:
----------------------------------
Hi,
today I build Pivot from trunk and added Pivot sample to testing application
here: https://github.com/kaja78/jnlpScripting
Unfortunatelly the problem was not fixed... It is the same problem in PivotMain
as in Main when launched using JWS. If launched as Java application or with
rhino script engine, everything works as expected.

> Java 8 BXML scripting security issues in Apache Pivot RIAs
> ----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: PIVOT-965
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-965
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core-serialization
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Environment: Windows, Sun JRE 64-bit 1.8.0_31b13
> Reporter: Karel Hübl
> Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
> Labels: java8, jdk8
> Fix For: 2.1, 2.0.5
>
>
> We encounter security issues in our pivot application after upgrading to JRE
> 1.8. The application is deployed as RIA using Java Web Start.
> I found out, that the problem is connected with nashorn script engine which
> replaced rhino script engine from previous java version. BXMLSerializer is
> using ScriptEngine to evaluate scripts in BXML files. It seems, that all
> calls initiated from BXML scripts, are considered untrusted in JRE 1.8 RIA
> Environment - this means security dialogs and exceptions are thrown, when
> trying execute privileged actions (network communication, reflection ...).
> Currently, I am not sure, if this is Pivot or Nashorn bug, but it is problem
> for current Apache Pivot RIAs. To investigate the srcipting behaviour in
> RIAs, I created testing non Pivot project
> https://github.com/kaja78/jnlpScripting The project contains testing
> application, which is deployed as JWS. When you execute the java web start
> app in JRE 1.8, the security dialog is displayed when testing method is
> executed from nashorn script engine (if you press cancel button on security
> dialog, you get SecurityException). When you uncomment 2 lines in
> Webcontent/jnlpScripting.jnlp file, rhino script engine is used instead of
> nashorn and no security dialog is displayed. This fix works also for our
> Pivot RIAs.
> I believe, Pivot should work in JRE 1.8 RIA Environment without security
> issues by default, so it should be fixed somehow in Pivot - may be, by
> correct ScriptEngine configuration in BXMLSerializer or by including Rhino
> libraries in Pivot distribution. Any idea how to "correctly" fix this issue?
> Btw.: I found this bug: http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8045075 I am
> not sure, if it is the same problem. But anyway, it should be fixed in
> 1.8.25.b01 and we are encountering above issues in latest 1.8.0.31.b13.
