Note that my original tweet implied that it was the user's decision to have Flash on their system. This isn't fair to Windows 10 users. You get Flash whether you want it or not. It's not your decision to make. Flash is exposed to MS Office, and not just your browsers.

Is that an Office prompt or Flash?

With Flash 30 (released today), I get the prompt. With Flash 29, there is no prompt, and the remote SWF is attempted to be loaded. With no Flash, there is no prompt and nothing happens. So I'd say it's a Flash prompt.

Just like with the recent vbscript loader document, this doesn't have anything inherently malicious to it. It just loads remote content that exploits a vulnerability.pic.twitter.com/JqH1peT8Qs
