Overview

Raised when attempting a potential unsafe operation, typically when the $SAFE level is raised above 0.

foo = "bar"
proc = Proc.new do
  $SAFE = 3
  foo.untaint
end
proc.call

raises the exception:

SecurityError: Insecure: Insecure operation `untaint' at level 3

Returns true if exception messages will be sent to a tty.

.exception	With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver.
.new	Construct a new `::Exception` object, optionally passing in a message.

#==	Equality—If obj is not an `::Exception`, returns `false`.
#backtrace	Returns any backtrace associated with the exception.
#backtrace_locations	Returns any backtrace associated with the exception.
#cause	Returns the previous exception ($!) at the time this exception was raised.
#exception	With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver.
#full_message	Returns formatted string of exception.
#inspect	Return this exception’s class name and message.
#message	Returns the result of invoking `exception.to_s`.
#set_backtrace	Sets the backtrace information associated with `exc`.
#to_s	Returns exception’s message (or the name of the exception if no message is set).
