Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Flex 3 History Management feature in Adobe Flex 3.0.1 SDK and Flex Builder 3, and generated applications, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the anchor identifier to (1) client-side-detection-with-history/history/historyFrame.html, (2) express-installation-with-history/history/historyFrame.html, or (3) no-player-detection-with-history/history/historyFrame.html in templates/html-templates/. NOTE: Firefox 2.0 and possibly other browsers prevent exploitation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Adobe Flex issue where applications generated with the Flex 3 History Management feature could let an attacker inject script or HTML through a URL fragment. Business risk depends on whether old Flex applications remain publicly reachable and trusted by users. Exposure is most likely in legacy web applications built or generated with Adobe Flex 3.0.1 SDK or Flex Builder 3 that still publish the named historyFrame.html files. Treat this as a targeted legacy exposure check. It is not KEV-listed in the provided sources, but public-facing vulnerable Flex applications could still create user-trust and session risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory deployed Flex applications and identify the listed historyFrame.html template paths.; Review Adobe APSB08-14 for official remediation guidance.; Prioritize public or authenticated applications handling sensitive sessions..
