- pj 17y agoAnything that runs with its own executable code on the user's machine is a potential attack vector. Here's just one such example: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-20.html http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-20.ht...
- CodeMage 17y agoFlash player runs the ActionScript code embedded in SWF. Browsers run the Javascript code embedded in web pages. If there are security vulnerabilities in either of these runtimes, malicious code can take advantage of them. The same arguments you're using against Flash and ActionScript can be used against HTML5 with Javascript.
