Up until yesterday everything was running fine without any issues. We are using adobe flash that launches an app inside of a JSP. don't make your users use an old browser with an insecure plugin.Can someone please shed some light or point me in a different direction. Seperation is a good thing here-your assumption that flash "isn't as bad as everyone says" doesn't hold water. I'd much rather be able to recommend a good browser that I know will be dependable after 2020. i believe you can even share a pre-suspended VM as just the disk image+statefile+configfile. then, just save the vm's state instead of shutting down, and it'll take only a few seconds to restart it then.
and wasting hundreds of engineers' man-hours to pick those parts out and and equal amount of lawyer-hours to ensure compliance isn't worth it for them.Īppreciate the virtualbox suggestion. they don't even own the rights to all parts of it (mainly drm, iirc). I sure wish Adobe open-source the display plugin now that they are abandoning it. and 3 of the 4 major implementations are free software. and that's a good thing, because those are open standards that-at least in theory-anyone with enough coffee and free time on their hands can implement. the by-year graph shows a reduction in reports in the last few years, but remember that researchers' interests have moved on as well.īut I get that that is way, way too much work for something they have now successfully pushed out of mainstream.įlash was pushed out of mainstream by html5+ecmascript2015. the latest one, from nov.2018, is a 10.0-the highest score, and there are many of them.
have a look at CVEs registeded for flash. It's also true that it should be more future proof but I think the day when the average PC can't even run Adobe's 64-bit plugin is very distant. But having a virtualbox option for those that just want to view the occational old flash every now and then without jumping through hoops is not a bad idea. Not good for performance and wait times, I'd much rather be able to recommend a good browser that I know will be dependable after 2020.

But I get that that is way, way too much work for something they have now successfully pushed out of mainstream. The swf file format specification is open, ActionScript 1/2/3 as well. The dream is for swf to be interpreted and rendered by the browser itself, just like how a browser reads and displays a jpg. Removing all internet and disk access is preferrable to dropping flash completely, over 80% of all swfs ever created would still work. Flash's insecurity is exaggerated and I'm of the opinion it sould have been sandboxed properly by browsers instead of having companies decide for us that we don't want it anymore.
