Browser issue Adobe flash player: Security error in IE11 (Windows 8.1)

[whynot]

This message popping up:

An ActionScript error has occurred:

SecurityError: Error #2060: Security sandbox violation: ExternalInterface caller http://www.*****.com/js/swfupload/Flash/swfupload.swf cannot access <unknown>.
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_evalJS()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
at ExternalCall$/Bool()
at SWFUpload/CheckExternalInterface()
at MethodInfo-10()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()

I disabled flash upload, it's ceased on my forum but on another forum which is using XF it still exist.
(There is no need to use the flash uploader for the error to pop up)

Interesting. I just had a user send me this

That site pops up my webroot anti-virus software

Would your machine be a 32-bit one? If so, it looks like Windows Update kb3087916 [August] is installing the DEBUG version of Flash ActiveX into IE11 on (32-bit) Windows 8.1 systems.

I had a random flash warning pop up on one of my sites that doesn't use any flash. It went away after a few hours so I figured it was a user link or something.

The sandbox references were odd so @Martok's post makes it clear why it's doing that now.

Would your machine be a 32-bit one?

No, it's 64

No, it's 64

The post in that link states it may be doing the same thing on 64-bit and other Windows configurations.

This is actually an issue with Flash update for Internet Explorer from Microsoft. Uninstall the KB Article, and it goes away. They accidently released the "Debug" version instead of the normal version. The exact KB3087916. We're dealing with this at work a lot. Its technically 'working'. But I'd just kill the kB if I were you.

But I'd just kill the kB if I were you.

Seems the problem has been fixed with the latest Windows update.
I already enabled the flash uploader, no error messages are popping up.

Please, close the thread as resolved.
