CWE-200Published: April 14, 2015· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
5.0
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.281 and 14.x through 17.x before 17.0.0.169 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.457 on Linux allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2015-3044 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
