  Let's see, flash is:

- Cross-architecture
- Has it's own programming language
- Is embedded on websites
- Access to javascript to popup, local caches, etc.

* Insecure (Adobe's implementation)


  It's not ineptness, it's what you get when you right software that can
actually do stuff.

For completeness, I did not claim they are inept - only insecure. Insecurity
in the absence of ineptness is probably more egregious - they should know
better.

 It will be interesting to see if HTML 5 has as many security problems. I
would love to see an Adobe implementation of HTML 5 go head to head with
Chrome or IE. Its too bad (or perhaps we are fortunate) that Adobe does not
make browsers.

hello full disclosure!

After six months from the first contact with Adobe security team,
 important
adobe.com subdomain is still vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. We
hope
that this time, serious people will try to solve the problem.
There's a reason Adobe is the most attacked software [1,2], and its
probably because they write the most vulnerable software (or
adversaries are looking for a challenge, which seems less intuitive
and highly unlikely to me).

It appears "insecurity" is an enterprise wide practice, and not just
limited to their software.
