Java used to have Java Security Manager, which basically made it possible to set permissions for what a jar/dependency could do. But deprecated and no real good alternative anymore.


Java could have really nice security if it provided access to OS API via interfaces with main function receiving the interface for the real implementation. It would be possible then to implement really tight sandboxes. But that ship sailed 30 years ago…
