JAVA.CLASS.ACCESS.MODIFY : Reflection Modifies Member Accessibility (Java)

要旨

Accessibility of a program member is changed through reflection.

It is considered to be a bad practice to bypass and not consider the accessibility of a method or a field. So one should never change or ignore accessibility of classes, methods or fields since it could lead to security issues. This checker warns if this is achieved through reflection.

解決法

Don't change or bypass the accessibility level of program members. Only use reflective method calls that take into account the visibility of the target member.
