CVE-2007-3640 (GCVE-0-2007-3640)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2007-07-10 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 14:21
VLAI
Summary
Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR, aka Apollo) allows context-dependent attackers to modify arbitrary files within an executing .air file (compiled AIR application) and perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, as demonstrated by an application that modifies an HTML file inside itself via JavaScript that uses an APPEND open operation and the writeUTFBytes function. NOTE: this may be an intended consequence of the AIR permission model; if so, then perhaps this issue should not be included in CVE.
Severity
