CVE-1999-1526

Summary

CVE-1999-1526 is a vulnerability affecting Macromedia Shockwave 7. This issue arises due to the auto-update feature's flawed implementation, allowing sensitive data such as passwords and hard disk information to be transmitted back to Macromedia's servers during the update process. This poses a significant risk to user privacy and security. Attackers could potentially intercept this data, leading to unauthorized access to user accounts and systems. It is strongly advised that users update to a secure version of Shockwave or disable the auto-update feature until a patch is released.
