My company is evaluating two apps which are using the Java PlugIn from Sun.
Are there any security issues related to this plugin we should be aware about before we implement it ?

Thanks,
Svein Gullby

Svein,

A quick search on www.sercurityfocus.com had a few vulnerabilities listed. If you have not already, go to above website and search for "Java Plugin". I won’t copy all of their advisories here, but there are some issues with certificates and system clipboard access. Without knowing your platform or configuration there isn’t anything specific to tell you. Below is also a link straight into one of the bugs.
