Adobe Flash Player Unspecified Vulnerability — Adobe Flash Player contains an unspecified vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute code or cause denial-of-service (DoS). Listed in the CISA KEV catalog (added 2022-06-08) — confirmed exploited in the wild, not theoretical. FIRST EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at ~67%. Treat it as real and prioritize remediation over triage.

Remediation · Mara OkonkwoCurated
Required action for Adobe Flash Player: The impacted product is end-of-life and should be disconnected if still in use. CISA set a federal remediation due date of 2022-06-22. After patching, verify the vulnerable path is no longer reachable before closing the finding.
