Mobile Code

Software programs or parts of programs obtained from remote systems, transmitted across a network, and executed on a local system without explicit installation or execution by the recipient. 

See the following under Mobile Code for detailed information: 
NIST SP 800-128.  

NIST SP 800-53. 
NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2. 
NIST SP 800-18 Rev. 1. 
 
Software programs or parts of programs obtained from remote information systems, transmitted across a network, and executed on a local information system without explicit installation or execution by the recipient. Note: Some examples of software technologies that provide the mechanisms for the production and use of mobile code include Java, JavaScript, ActiveX, VBScript, etc. 

See NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 4 for detailed information. 

A program (e.g., script, macro, or other portable instruction) that can be shipped unchanged to a heterogeneous collection of platforms and executed with identical semantics. 

See the following under Mobile Code for detailed information: 
NIST SP 800-28 Version 2. 

NIST Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.1. 

Executable code that is normally transferred from its source to another computer system for execution. This transfer is often through the network (e.g., JavaScript embedded in a web page) but may transfer through physical media as well. 

See NIST SP 800-63-3 under Mobile Code for detailed information. 
 

Software that is transmitted from a remote host to be executed on a localhost, typically without the user’s explicit instruction. 

See NIST SP 800-83 Rev. 1 under Mobile Code for detailed information.
