CD Projekt Red has released a hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077 to fix a remote code execution vulnerability that could be exploited by third-party data file modifications and save games files.
On February 2nd, 20201, CD Projekt warned that Cyberpunk 2077 users should avoid using files, such as mods that modify data files or custom save game files, due to a vulnerability in how the game uses DLL files.
Last week, CyberpunkSaveEditor creator PixelRick disclosed that a buffer overflow vulnerability chained with a non-ASLR DLL (xinput1_3.dll) allows specially crafted save games or modifications to perform code execution on a PC.If you plan to use @CyberpunkGame mods/custom saves on PC, use caution. We've been made aware of a vulnerability in external DLL files the game uses which can be used to execute code on PCs. Issue will be fixed ASAP. For now, please refrain from using files from unknown sources.
