    I have uploaded a bunch of swf-files which is different sections of a educational flash game for kids on my wordpress server. The files is uploaded to a folder outside of wordpress but on the same public_html server root area.

    I link directly to one of the swf files from one of my wordpress posts

    The folder permissions is 755 and files 644

    In all the constantly “flash have security issues” etc.. in the news all the time, is it any problem with hosting these files nowadays like this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Flash security mostly has to do with the Flash files themselves being malware; if your Flash files are not malware and you’re not trying to exploit Flash in other people’s browsers, you’re OK.

    But, because Flash can be exploited in different ways, many people block all Flash all the time. And Chrome will begin blocking most Flash by default sometime this year. http://krebsonsecurity.com/tag/adobe-flash-player/

    The Flash files themselves in that directory will be OK with those permissions, unless someone hacks and replaces them with malware versions.
