Adobe has published its monthly security bulletin, and for the month of April 2018, the company has addressed security bugs in five products —Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Experience Manager (enterprise CMS), Adobe InDesign (publishing software), Adobe Digital Editions (e-book reader), and Adobe PhoneGap Push Plugin (mobile development library).
As usual, the Flash Player fixes reign supreme, as this remains Adobe's most popular product, even if Google has reported that Flash usage has declined from 80% in 2014 to under 8% in 2018.
In total, Adobe fixed 14 security flaws, broken down as follows: 6 in Flash Player, 3 in Experience Manager, 2 in InDesign, 2 in Digital Editions, and 1 in the PhoneGap Push Plugin.
