The applet I’m working on is rather specialised, so talking about that isn’t going to prove much. Others have pointed out some common examples from among the fields I mentioned, such as Minecraft, WebEx, and Danish government web sites. Each of these has a significant user base relying on Java applets.
- SiVal 14y agoDoes Minecraft use applets or is it just a standalone desktop Java app? Does installing Minecraft create any vulnerability to this bug on a machine whose browsers have deactivated any Java plugin?
- Aticus_Finch 14y agoThere are unrelated. Besides downloading the Java app, you can play Minecraft in the browser through an applet at https://minecraft.net/play https://minecraft.net/play. So no, if you are not running Java in the browser, a malicious web page can't run neither Minecraft nor other Java apps that you have locally installed.
