🔬 Technical Analysis

Many of the older titles have been found to have remote code execution exploits, allowing a hacker to get into your PC remotely and do whatever they want, steal your data, put malware, whatever... The national vulnerability database lists this particular issue as a severity 9.8 !!! Can't get much higher than that !! https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-20817 Yet these games are still being sold on stores like steam. No disclaimer telling your average person about these issues. So many people would be coming back to older cods due to the hype around the releases on PlayStation but not be aware how compromised these games are. Why is this allowed ? The games need to be fixed or delisted honestly. It's not safe to play them ! submitted by /u/PuzzledHawk5290 [link] [comments]
