If you rushed to upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks, congratulations -- you've just taken a big step forward in web security. Adobe has confirmed
that Flash Player is now sandboxed in Safari for Mavericks users,
preventing Flash-based malware from accessing code and resources beyond
Apple's browser. The company is taking special advantage of OS X's new
app sandboxing feature, which also minimizes the security risks for
other plugins and programs. Safari is undoubtedly late to the party when
Flash has been sandboxed for a while in both Chrome and Firefox, but we won't knock an upgrade that neuters many potential security exploits.
