public class URLClassLoader extends SecureClassLoader
The AccessControlContext of the thread that created the instance of URLClassLoader will be used when subsequently loading classes and resources.
The classes that are loaded are by default granted permission only to access the URLs specified when the URLClassLoader was created.

calls the security manager's checkCreateClassLoader

to ensure creation of a class loader is allowed.

. The URLs will
be searched in the order specified for classes and resources after
first searching in the parent class loader. Any URL that ends with
a '/' is assumed to refer to a directory. Otherwise, the URL is
assumed to refer to a JAR file which will be downloaded and opened
as needed.

If the protocol of this URL is "jar", then the permission granted is based on the permission that is required by the URL of the Jar file.
If the protocol is "file" and the path specifies a file, then permission to read that file is granted. If protocol is "file" and the path is a directory, permission is granted to read all files and (recursively) all files and subdirectories contained in that directory.
If the protocol is not "file", then permission to connect to and accept connections from the URL's host is granted.
