According to Adobe’s Blog, they have resolved this problem:

“Adobe is aware of a report describing a clickjacking issue related to the online Flash Player Settings Manager. We have resolved the issue with a change to the Flash Player Settings Manager SWF file hosted on the Adobe website. No user action or Flash Player product update are required.”

I agree with my colleague Dan.

In order to be clickjacked into turning your webcam on, the site would have to trick you into making a very specific sequence of clicks. What’s more the site has no way of knowing if you actually made those clicks as Aboukhadijeh mentioned in his video, instead the website has to assume you made the previous click and then move on to taking you to the next click.

Only if the site successfully tricks you into making that full sequence of clicks can they do anything. Also, so far he has not been able to make this particular trick work on Windows at all, or on Chrome on Mac, only on Safari on Mac and Firefox on Mac, so the number of people effected by this particular vulnerability is somewhat minimal.

Also, since it only works on Mac (At least at current), the Mac Webcam has also had a little green led that lights up whenever the webcam is in use, so I would think that most people would notice that a bright light suddenly turned on on the top of their computer and know something might be up.

On the flip side, if you are concerned that the site can turn on your webcam and you want to cover it up, you should also be concerned with the fact that enabling your webcam also enables the built in microphone, so in addition to seeing and recording video of you, this clickjacking technique can also hear you, so the privacy concerns are not covered by simply covering the camera lens with a band-aid.

Thanks for the Hat Tip Courtney, and for linking to H.R. 2471 which I hadn’t yet found when I posted about the law.

Interestingly enough this was one law I actually knew about before I joined Justia and became particularly interested in the law. Long ago (when it was still a part o Viacom) I used to work for Blockbuster Video, and we were briefed about 18 USC § 2710 in our training, as we had to make sure we didn’t violate it.
