Flash has a very bad reputation for security.

Not just flash, Anything by Adobe has security problems. Seriously badly written software.
Their Acrobat reader has problems regularly as well.

It used to be Windows that was the big security risk on the internet. But Adobe (flash and acrobat) and Oracle (java) are now the internet bad boys.
