A
pinned thread on Reddit warns of a remote code execution vulnerability in
Dark Souls 3. This seems like a promotion for the
Blue Sentinel security
mod for the action/RPG sequel, but the accompanying posts appear to confirm
legitimate concerns about the exploit, the bona fides of the poster, and the
value of the mod. A
recent tweet
says the mod is now updated to safeguard against this: "The new Blue Sentinel
update is now out which should keep your PC and your information safe." Here's
the big picture:
A new remote code execution vulnerability has been
discovered that is both severe in nature and easier to execute than previous
ones that are patched by blue sentinel. We don't believe it's spreading beyond
the person who worked on it but the level of damage it can cause is severe, any
code sent can be run. Blue sentinel does not patch this vulnerability
yet.
