The JDIPermission class represents access rights to the VirtualMachineManager. This is the permission which the SecurityManager will check when code that is running with a SecurityManager requests access to the VirtualMachineManager, as defined in the Java Debug Interface (JDI) for the Java platform. 
 A JDIPermission object contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't. 

The following table provides a summary description of what the
permission allows, and discusses the risks of granting code the
permission.


Table shows permission target name, what the
permission allows, and associated risks


Permission Target Name
What the Permission Allows
Risks of Allowing this Permission




  virtualMachineManager
  Ability to inspect and modify the JDI objects in the VirtualMachineManager 
  This allows an attacker to control the VirtualMachineManager and cause the system to misbehave. 






Programmers do not normally create JDIPermission objects directly.
Instead they are created by the security policy code based on reading
the security policy file.
