Hi,

A security scan has return ed multiple instances of:

Adobe Flash Player <= 29.0.0.113 (APSB18-08) (108958)

The solution is to Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player version 29.0.0.140 or later.All servers (2012 R2) are on a later version than 29.0.0.140 and when i look in the registry it shows the correct version.

However when i query the version via a PowerShell script it returns an old version of 28.xxxxx which is probably why the security alert is being generated.

Anyone have any ideas why the PowerShell script would be retruning false results? It has to be collecting the data from somewhere and obviously thinks it is accurate.

Thanks

Also, the current Flash Player version is 30.0.0.113. We'd strongly recommend that you keep Flash Player current to the extent possible.

It's possible the different versions are for different Flash Player types (e.g. ActiveX for IE, NPAPI for Firefox, PPAPI for Chromium-based browsers).

Microsoft embeds Flash Player ActiveX in IE on Server 2012 and all updates are distributed via Windows Update.

Which registry entry are you looking at?

i query the version via a PowerShell script it returns an old version of 28.xxxxx

What registry entries is the PowerShell script using to check the version?

The Flash Player Settings Manager Updates tab will display which Flash Player types are installed and the version for each type. Please post a screenshot of this. To open the Flash Player Settings Manger, go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features > Flash Player and then click on the Updates tab
