/**
* Elasticsearch-specific permission to check before entering
* {@code AccessController.doPrivileged()} blocks.
*
* We try to avoid these blocks in our code and keep security simple,
* but we need them for a few special places to contain hacks for third
* party code, or dangerous things used by scripting engines.
*
* All normal code has this permission, but checking this before truncating the stack
* prevents unprivileged code (e.g. scripts), which do not have it, from gaining elevated
* privileges.
*
* In other words, don't do this:
*
*
* // throw away all information about caller and run with our own privs
* AccessController.doPrivileged(
* ...
* );
*
*
* Instead do this;
*
*
* // check caller first, to see if they should be allowed to do this
* SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
* if (sm != null) {
* sm.checkPermission(new SpecialPermission());
* }
* // throw away all information about caller and run with our own privs
* AccessController.doPrivileged(
* ...
* );
