SRG-OS-000182 	CCI-001169 	The operating system must prevent the 
download of prohibited mobile code. 	Decisions regarding the employment 
of mobile code within operating systems are based on the potential for 
the code to cause damage to the system if used maliciously. Mobile code 
technologies include Java, JavaScript, ActiveX, PDF, Postscript, 
Shockwave movies, Flash animations, and VBScript. Usage restrictions and 
implementation guidance apply to both the selection and use of mobile 
code installed on organizational servers and mobile code downloaded and 
executed on individual workstations.


impractical_product. How does the OS know the code is prohibited? This 
belongs at a content inspecting proxy/firewall IMHO.
