GTA Online hackers have figured out how to mess with player profile data, and could be on the verge of remote code execution through the game.

, showed off gameplay from a purportedly"corrupted" account. Whenever connecting to GTA Online, the camera would zoom up into the air and just stay there, never connecting to the game.that deleting the Rockstar Games folder from My Documents, then launching GTA Online should refresh profile data. Of course, until there is an official response from Rockstar, it's probably best to avoid GTA Online altogether.

Tez2 describes the exploit as"partial remote code execution," with the potential for further security-compromising advancements from hackers. Guardian creator Speyedr, meanwhile, seems to believe that the development of full remote code execution through GTA Online is imminent, and advises no one to play the game on PC until it is patched.

Speyedr's tool, Guardian, could potentially guard against the exploit, but the developer does not want users, especially those who may not know how to deploy it properly, taking the risk. Speydr has temporarily removed Guardian's files fromThe entire situation is highly reminiscent of the remote code execution vulnerability that led Bandai Namco tofor over half a year.

Gah damn, rockstar just can't stop taking Ls huh?

I wonder if this zero day have been used by spy agencies 🤔

Smh rockstar

Ah yes Dark Souls created software vulnerabilities

Oh look another exploit in the sad excuse of a security that Rockstar uses on their games 😱

Honestly? They deserve it for having such horrible security. Look at FromSoftware, they completely took their games down so they could rewrite the online code that fixes these issues, I know Rockstar is just going to patch the bare minimum to get more money anyway.

RockstarGames RockstarSupport Ought to look into that. Because the lawsuit from leaving it would probably be pretty bad, for you. You should definitely look into this on Red Dead 2 Online as well... seein as they share similar programming.

well we can rest assured that they'll actually probably fix this one since it's GTA online and not Red Dead Online
