Sometimes there is a grey area between a security vulnerability and a really nice feature. I think it is important that everyone understand what a user should be able to do and what a user should not be able to do since "that's not a bug, that's a feature" is cold comfort to a user who just discovered that his security requirements were not met. Also, having a standard laid down will allow us to better classify security issues if they are discovered (I can proudly say that we have improved here by leaps and bounds) I have a draft document which attempts to detail that line between bug and feature and I think it is time to move it into main space.

WDYT?
Indeed, we need such a document. A few remarks: * 2.4 duplicates 2.2 * 7.3 is a bit confusing because until that point document title and document content are viewed separately (e.g. 5.2 and 5.3) * 8.5 is not quite correct because you can instantiate and load classes from velocity but not directly. You can't use the new operator and you don't have access to the Java reflection API but by simply writing: #set($list = [1, 2, 3]) you are creating a new instance of ArrayList. Thanks, Marius
