Macromedia Flash Player before 7,0,19,0 stores a Flash data file in a predictable location that is accessible to web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Opera, which allows remote attackers to read restricted files via vulnerabilities in web browsers whose exploits rely on predictable names.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Macromedia Flash Player issue where versions before 7.0.19.0 stored a Flash data file in a predictable browser-accessible location. In certain browser flaw chains, a remote attacker could use that predictability to read files that should have been restricted. Likely limited to legacy endpoints, kiosks, virtual machines, or archived systems still running Macromedia Flash Player before 7.0.19.0 with affected browsers. Treat this as legacy risk cleanup, not an emergency based on the provided evidence. Prioritize removal or isolation where old Flash remains on systems handling sensitive files or business-critical workflows. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Macromedia Flash Player versions before 7.0.19.0.; Remove obsolete Flash Player where business need no longer exists.; If Flash must remain, follow vendor guidance and upgrade beyond the affected version..
