Vulnerability Discussion

Mobile code can cause damage to the system. It can execute without explicit action from, or notification to, a user.

Actions enforced before executing mobile code include, for example, prompting users prior to opening email attachments and disabling automatic execution.

This requirement applies to mobile code-enabled software, which is capable of executing one or more types of mobile code.
