Description

Java 17 and later have deprecated AccessController, resulting in the following build failure:

AccessController in java.security has been deprecated and marked for removal

From https://openjdk.org/jeps/411:

... The Security Manager dates from Java 1.0. It has not been the primary means of securing client-side Java code for many years, and it has rarely been used to secure server-side code. ...

Usage of this class should be removed for compatibility with Java 17 onward.
