Hahahaha.

Find another auditing company :)

Applets don't run on the server side. Maybe it _calls_ server side
code (by hitting urls or other channel), but it doesn't run there.
Maybe they want you to put "controls" on that code?

Thanks for all the reply. Maybe I do not put it very clearly in the first email. The auditor's concerns are: Exposure 
to buffer overflow and environment attacks. So I believe their concern is on server side. Correct me if I'm wrong. 
They do not go for code review.

What control can we put in place to mitigate the risk? Thanks.
