CVE-2016-6936
Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 23.0.0.257 on Windows does not support Android runtime-analytics transport security, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging access to a network over which analytics data is sent.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.80%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
