Description
While running the SandboxAppTest we get: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.util.logging.LoggingPermission" "control")

To reproduce, run the test as follows:

gradle --info -PFULL_TEST=true :systemTests:cleanTest :systemTests:test --tests test.sandbox.SandboxAppTest

You will see the following exception in the console:

This appears to be a product bug rather than a test bug. It seems that WCMediaPlayer attempts to set the log level without asserting permissions.

I verified that this is fixed by the patch for JDK-8195974, so I'm closing this as a duplicate.

Since the code in question was using j.u.l, it wasn't touched as part of fixing JDK-8195799, but will be address with JDK-8195974.

As part of JDK-8195799 we will stop setting the log level, meaning that the failing code will likely be removed. Once JDK-8195799 is fixed, we should retest this, and close a duplicate if the problem is no longer present.
