Don't know if anyone could use this or even if it originally came from here. But we target the out of date Flash installs via a smart group and inventory using an Extension Attribute.

From your own Casper server's webpage: Settings : Inventory Options : Inventory Collection Preferences : Extension Attributes : Add Extension Attribute

Display name: Use something like "Flash Plugin Version"
Description: Add your own description to taste.
Data Type: "String"
--------------------------------------------
Input Type: "Populated by Script"
Mac OS X Script Contents: copy/paste the following into the Contents window.
#!/bin/sh
#
############################################################################
#
# Extension Attribute checks to display Adobe Flash Player Version number.
# #
############################################################################
FlashPluginVersion=/usr/bin/defaults read /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Info CFBundleVersion
echo "<result> $FlashPluginVersion </result>"

exit 0

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Save this setup and your clients will begin gathering the Flash Plugin info on their next check-in/inventory. You can target the systems which need the newer version via a Smart Group and deploy via Policy as you see fit.

Hope this helps someone. BTW, I've similar setups for the other vulnerability exploits bane of Mac Admins (JAVA), if anyone is interested.

Great script but with one small error to watch out for...

When you paste this in to the contents window, make sure that you put a Carriage Return (CR) after the last hash # or the script will not do anything. Running as a standalone .sh script as it is listed above gives the following error:

/bin/sh? # ?################################################################: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Hope this helps...
