Windows 10: WARNING! Adobe Flash Security Issue

After latest Flash update (27.0.0.130), deleting Firefox cookies affects/resets Flash Global Settings (Control Panel->Flash Player 32bit), without warning.

That means, if you had those settings to "Block...", after cookies deletion, you're going to see its default settings again (Allow.../Ask...).

Also, deleting Internet Explorer cookies causes exactly the same issue even if Flash plugin has not been installed.
Issue for IE 11 exists before latest Flash update.

Edge cookies deletion does not affect Flash Global Settings.

Adobe promised that issue will be fixed on next update.

Flash plugin partial upgrade-- recurring issue.

Uniunstall Flash Players, old format, extremely venerable:

Adobe confirms major Flash vulnerability, and the only way to protect yourself is to uninstall Flash

Unconfirmed zero-day vulnerability discovered in Adobe Flash Player

This is only a couple of many advocating un-installing Flash

 

Fake Adobe Flash Update - Skype users hit too

back on topic: Word of warning - I've just read elsewhere about users deleting
every "pepper" file thinking they're all fake/dangerous. They're not - some are genuine, linked to add-ons for Goggle Chrome. So please take care and check with experts.

PS Downloading Adobe updates from Adobe should carry a Health Warning. Many renowned experts such as Krebs recommends removing Adobe Flash altogether and both he and Qualys regularly post articles about Flash topping the most flawed/most "security holes"
list of chocolate teapots.

 

Do you have any links to anything about this? It's helpful when posting items of this nature. Thanks.

Adobe's answer:
...This is was an unintended side-effect of another bugfix, and something we take very seriously.
This issue is fixed, and will ship in the next monthly (patch tuesday, October) update.
