According to a report from Dexerto, a RCE exploit found in Dark Souls 3 could allow a bad actor to take control of your computer. The vulnerability only affects PC players who play online and may affect Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, and the upcoming Elden Ring.

The exploit was seen in action during the stream. The game crashes at the end of the stream, and the robotic voice from Microsoft starts to criticize the game. TheGrimSleeper reports that a hacker used the program to run a script that triggered the text-to-speech feature.

One of the most dangerous vulnerabilities is RCE.

A post on the SpeedSouls' Discord may reveal the actual intentions of the hacker. According to the post, thehacker tried to contact the developer of Dark Souls about the vulnerability. He used the hack on streamers to draw attention to the problem.

The outcome could have been worse if the bad actor had discovered the problem first. One of the most dangerous vulnerabilities is RCE. It allows hackers to run malicious code on the victim's computer, causing irreparable damage, and potentially stealing sensitive information while they're at it.

The RCE vulnerability has been patched in the anti-cheat mod Blue Sentinel. In a post on the r/darksouls3 subreddit, a user explains that only four people know how to execute the RCE hack, two of which are Blue Sentinel developers, and the other two are people who worked on it.

It is best to stay off Dark Souls online until an official fix is released. A report on the issue was submitted to the relevant internal teams earlier today, and the information is much appreciated. The Verge reached out to the company but didn't hear back.
