Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Continuous must be configured to block Flash Content.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Flash has a long history of vulnerabilities. Although Flash is no longer provided with Acrobat, if the system has Flash installed, a malicious PDF could execute code on the system. Configuring Flash to run from a privileged location limits the execution capability of untrusted Flash content that may be embedded in the PDF.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
