#2A remote code execution exploit in GTA 5 Online should not a surprise to anybody who has played GTA 5 Online.
Cheaters have been rampant for many years, with people using apparently purchased cheat tools that allow them to choose to do server-side things like drop unlimited money and spawn vehicles anywhere, rapidly cycling through weather changes, and locking people permanently in cages.
But get on the bad side of a cheater and they can crash the games of people in the server they want to kick.
It's very sad, because despite the immense flaws of the game, the game play loop can be very engaging.

The fact that there's so many different ways for mod menus to crash other players should have been a pretty obvious signal to infosec-aware people that there's almost certainly RCEs just waiting to be found. And even story mode being potentially impacted shouldn't come as a surprise, because previously there was the "FoG" (finger of god) series of exploits that allowed mod menu users to manipulate story mode sessions of other players, as long as they were connected to the internet.

Really hoping that GTA 6 Online uses dedicated servers. It's not that expensive, and lets you have the option of being more authoritative with clients.

For anyone who wants to read about the history of the RCE exploit that affected all three Dark Souls games: https://github.com/tremwil/ds3-nrssr-rce

I wouldn't have assumed that a cheater's ability to effect things on a game server would mean they could execute whatever code they wanted on my personal computer unless that server was running on my system.
Spawning money and vehicles sound like pretty harmless cheats you'd expect in a game like grand theft auto.

#9Hopefully this doesn’t affect ScriptHookV and their like for single player. Enjoy playing LSPDFR once in a while. GTA:V is just a treasure trove for modders.

#10Almost every single online game out there that relies on players connecting to each other instead of only a central server is vulnerable to these types of exploits, it's often just a question of finding them.
Every once in a while I feel like playing one of the older Call of Duty games on my steam library again, but then I remember that they all have known unfixed RCE exploits.
