Lookup Service must be configured to limit access to internal packages.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The "package.access" entry in the "catalina.properties" file implements access control at the package level. When properly configured, a Security Exception will be reported if an errant or malicious webapp attempts to access the listed internal classes directly or if a new class is defined under the protected packages. The Lookup Service comes preconfigured with the appropriate packages defined in "package.access", and this configuration must be maintained.
