The following table provides a list of all the possible AWTPermission permission names with a description of what that permission allows.

Permission Name	Permission Allows	Risks
`accessClipboard`	posting and reading the AWT clipboard	the clipboard may contain sensitive data
`accessEventQueue`	access to the AWT event queue	malicious code could remove real events and replace them with bogus ones, including simulating the user granting permission
`listenToAllAWTEvents`	listen to system-wide AWT events	malicious code can read passwords entered in an AWT event, and in combination with accessEventQueue, could fake system events
`showWindowWithoutWarningBanner`	display a window without a banner notification of insecurity	malicious code could install a Trojan horse applet that looks like a normal window, and thus steal data like passwords
`readDisplayPixels`	read back pixels from the display screen	malicious code could snoop on the user's actions
`createRobot`	create an instance of java.awt.Robot	these objects can generate events as though they were the user; so malicious code could control the system
`fullScreenExclusive`	enter full-screen exclusive mode	malicious code could masquerade as a trusted program
