[jira] Updated: (SLING-524) Restrict JavaScript Engine to allow running untrusted scripts for user-driven templating

Lars Trieloff updated SLING-524:


Attachment: SLING-524.patch

Following patch implements a set of restrictions (with test cases) on recma 
(restriced ECMA) and resp (restricted ECMA server pages):

- maximum script runtime is 1000 ms
- maximum stack depth is 100
- no access to Packages, so effectively disabling all java capabilities

This leaves us with a very restricted environment that allows to a certain 
degree user-contributed scripts. One attack vector that I can imagine is 
uploading scripts with excessive parse and compile time, so that the runtime 
checks on denial of service attacks are not effective.
