Overview

  • A remote code execution exploit allows hackers to remotely shut down PCs, type messages in Notepad and open explicit content on player monitors.
  • Numerous players, including content creator BAMS, reported IP addresses exposed in game chat and forcible disconnections during online matches.
  • Despite widespread warnings since early July, Activision has not issued any official advisory or patch as of July 4.
  • The vulnerability is limited to the PC edition available on Xbox Game Pass, with console versions remaining unaffected.
  • Security experts warn that legacy Call of Duty titles often lack ongoing support, leaving them prone to exploitation when added to subscription services.
