Jervis Liu commented on GPD-278:
--------------------------------

How about the workaround I suggested in SOA-1065. It is not ideal, but it fits for a "micro/patch release.", it is also consistent with the approach taken by JBOSS ESB. 

"A quick fix can be sth like what has been done in ESB, i.e., having a property called "supportMessageBasedScripting" in jBPM process configuration file. Turning this flag on means the owner of this piece of code is fully aware of what his/her process will be doing and security related implications. By default this flag is turned off. Please refer to https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBESB-1561

But I agree that a long term proper fix would have to have SecurityManager involved. "
