Overview
The application uses JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) methods. Applets that use JDBC in an untrusted environment can compromise the database.
According to the default settings, Java applet can open a connection to a database located on the server from which it was downloaded. This is acceptable only in a trusted environment. Otherwise, an attacker can use the applet to get access parameters and ultimately to gain direct access to the database.
