Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Flash component infrastructure in YUI 2.4.0 through 2.9.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to charts.swf, a similar issue to CVE-2010-4207.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an older cross-site scripting issue in YUI 2 Flash infrastructure. If a public site still serves affected YUI 2 SWF assets, especially charts.swf, an attacker may be able to run script in a user’s browser in that site’s context. Exposure is most likely in legacy web applications that still host YUI 2.4.0 through 2.9.0 Flash component files or bundled charts.swf assets on public routes. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It is not KEV-listed in the provided data, but public XSS in old client-side assets can still affect customers and brand trust if exposed. Mitigation focus: Inventory public web roots for YUI 2 Flash assets, especially charts.swf.; Check the YUI security advisory for vendor-confirmed remediation guidance.; Remove unused YUI 2 SWF assets from public serving paths..
