What is CVE-2007-3640?
CVE-2007-3640 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Adobe Adobe Air, published on 10 Jul 2007. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR, aka Apollo) allows context-dependent attackers to modify arbitrary files within an executing .air file (compiled AIR application) and perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, as demonstrated by an application that modifies an HTML file inside itself via JavaScript that uses an APPEND open operation and the writeUTFBytes function. NOTE: this may be an intended consequence of the AIR permission model; if so, then perhaps this issue should not be included in CVE.
