Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Privilege Escalation: Bypassing active Security Manager policies through direct reflection modification (such as altering constructor accessibility) can allow unauthorized classes to instantiate privileged objects. Properly wrapping these reflective calls in a PrivilegedAction block ensures that actions are executed with the permissions of the protection domain of the Arquillian framework itself, preventing untrusted caller domains from executing unauthorized actions.
