FWIW, > CVE-2023-24059 What other video games have had CVE's?

Fairly recently Dark Souls 3 had a pretty bad one: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-34170

They took the online servers offline in January and to their credit they patched a 6 year old game and brought the servers back in September.

I feel like I'm missing something here, but: the references are two support forum threads and a reddit thread, both of which link back to the referenced twitter thread? Is there any actual confirmation that this RCE exists? What does "partial RCE" even mean?

These games have tens of millions of lines of code (often building on top of the older components). They are also written in memory unsafe C++, by developers focused on features and rapid sales, to users that look forward to new features not better security.

I won’t be surprised at all if they are filled with vulnerabilities.
