Kotlin : No SecurityManager checks in clone()

Classification

OWASP Top 10 2017
A6-Security Misconfiguration
OWASP Top 10 2021
A5-Security Misconfiguration

Overview

Security checks via SecurityManager or AccessController are present in the class constructor, but not in the clone() method. Cloneable class must produce the same checks in the clone() method.

When calling clone() the constructor is not called, therefore, security checks defined in the constructor will not be performed.
