See: http://www.oracle.com/mainEvent/websystem/powerBrowser/cspcav.html
and in general, www.oracle.com.
Excerpted from the page above, titled "Caveats and Warnings":
"Because CSP program modules are binary objects, there is the possibility
that viruses and trojans might be spread to the user's machine through
the Web....."
"One way that programmers can instill confidence in their CSP's is to
distribute source code that can be inspected and compiled independently
by the user...."
That would seem to invite *two* of the favorite local debates...;-)
