Adobe Air polluted by critical flaws
The Adobe Air web development environment is littered with critical security vulnerabilities which could leave systems open to attack, the company has conceded.
According to ZDNet, the flaws could lead to remote code execution and a potential network security breach if left unresolved. The firm announced that the vulnerabilities are known to affect versions 1.1 and earlier and can all be exploited externally.
It urged firms to upgrade to the latest version in an effort to avoid falling victim to such an attack, which allows hackers to execute untrusted JavaScript code with escalated privileges. ZDNet notes that the security concession was nestled among a flurry of positive announcements about the development platform.
