Vulnerability discussion

By default no deployment.config file exists; thus, no system-wide deployment.properties file exists. The file must be created. The deployment.config file is used for specifying the location and execution of system-level properties for the Java Runtime Environment. Without the deployment.config file, setting particular options for the Java control panel is impossible.The deployment.config file can be created in either of the following locations:<Windows Directory>\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config- or -<JRE Installation Directory>\lib\deployment.config

Check content

By default, no "deployment.config" file exists; it must be created. Verify a "deployment.config" configuration file exists in either: \Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config - or - \Lib\deployment.config If the "deployment.config" configuration file does not exist in either of these folders, this is a finding.

Fix text

By default, no "deployment.config" file exists; a text file must be created. Create a JRE deployment configuration file in either: \Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config - or - \Lib\deployment.config

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
