Descriptions

In Eclipse p2, installable units are able to alter the Eclipse Platform installation and the local machine via touchpoints during installation. Those touchpoints can, for example, alter the command-line used to start the application, injecting things like agent or other settings that usually require particular attention in term of security. Although p2 has built-in strategies to ensure artifacts are signed and then to help establish trust, there is no such strategy for the metadata part that does configure such touchpoints. As a result, it's possible to install a unit that will run malicious code during installation without user receiving any warning about this installation step being risky when coming from untrusted source.

En Eclipse p2, las unidades instalables son capaces de alterar la instalación de la plataforma Eclipse y la máquina local por medio de puntos de contacto durante la instalación. Esos puntos de contacto pueden, por ejemplo, alterar la línea de comandos usada para iniciar la aplicación, inyectando cosas como el agente u otras configuraciones que suelen requerir especial atención en términos de seguridad. Aunque p2 presenta estrategias incorporadas para asegurar que los artefactos estén firmados y así ayudar a establecer confianza, no se presenta ninguna estrategia de este tipo para la parte de los metadatos que configuran dichos puntos de contacto. Como resultado, es posible instalar una unidad que ejecutará código malicioso durante la instalación sin que el usuario reciba ninguna advertencia sobre que este paso de instalación es arriesgado cuando proviene de una fuente no confiable
