A hacker exploited the vulnerability and demonstrated it on a Twitch streamer named The__Grim__Sleeper while he was live playing Dark Souls 3.
This week, a security vulnerability in Dark Souls 3 was discovered, allowing remote code execution (RCE) and any threat actor to wreak havoc on your PC. As this vulnerability only affects players who play online, potentially across the Dark Souls series, servers have been switched offline, and it seems Dark Souls developer FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco are working on the issue. In the past week, it has been reported in the SpeedSouls’ Discord that a “hacker” discovered the vulnerability in Dark Souls 3, and knowing its danger, tried to report it to Dark Souls developers FromSoftware. However, it appears that he was repeatedly ignored and began to use other means to raise awareness of this new issue.
