I’m too young to understand how plugin architecture worked for old browsers (flash, java, what else am I forgetting).

I’m guessing it was some horrible unsafe C interrop mess with close ties to the kernel. Or maybe there was no samdboxing and security built in like there is these days.

Anyone able to shed some light on how it worked and why it was so easy to exploit flash and therefore the whole system? Was it the same for Java applets?
