I think it is just another interpreted language that allows you to read a program from one web site that, when run, writes data into another site in such a way that it will be run later. The way around this is that each program should run in a "sandbox" so that it can only interact with the site that it was loaded from. I don't know whether the flash interpreter just doesn't have a sandbox, or doesn't have one that does what is says on the tin.
