What security model does the Adobe AIR runtime provide?
Our goal is to provide the functionality that developers need and want, while also allowing them to create secure applications. At the root of any policy is the fact that Adobe AIR applications are downloaded to, installed, and run from the user’s desktop. Therefore, they run in a different security context than applications that run in the browser, and have a security model closer to that of a desktop application. You can find more information on the security model in this article.
