Security policy

Flash holds the Accessibility permission, runs a keyboard event tap while it owns input, and runs plugins as child processes. Bugs in those areas deserve a private report.

Reporting

Use GitHub private vulnerability reporting rather than a public issue. Please include the Flash version (flash status), macOS version and steps to reproduce. You will get an acknowledgement within a week.

In scope

  • Keystrokes from other apps reaching a log, a file, a plugin or the network.
  • A plugin escaping its declared capabilities or sandbox profile.
  • Synthesized input landing in the wrong app or as stray terminal text.
  • Flash reading screen pixels by any path. It is designed never to.

docs/privacy.md is the public inventory of permissions, network destinations and stored data; a discrepancy between that page and the code is also a bug.

Supported versions
