A dangerous remote code execution (rce) exploit found in dark souls 3 could let a bad actor take control of your computer. The vulnerability only puts PC gamers who play online at risk and may potentially affect dark souls, dark souls 2, and the upcoming Elden ring.

The_grim_sleeper’s game crashes at the end of the stream. The robotic voice belonging to Microsoft’s text-to-speech generator suddenly starts criticizing his game.

A screenshotted post on the speedsouls’ discord may reveal the’- hacker”’s intentions. He attempted to contact dark souls developer fromsoftware about the issue. He was reportedly ignored, so he started using the hack on streamers to draw attention to the problem.

Rce is one of the most dangerous vulnerabilities. It allows hackers to run malicious code on their victim’s computer.

Blue sentinel, a community-made anti-cheat mod for dark souls 3, has since been patched to protect against the rce vulnerability.
