Bandai Namco has deactivated the online PvP mode for the Dark Souls role-playing game, taking its servers offline to investigate reports about a severe security issue that may pose a risk to players.
According to community
reports on Reddit, the vulnerability is a remote code execution (RCE) that could allow attackers to take control of the system, giving them access to sensitive information, letting them plant malware, or use resources for cryptocurrency mining.
The same reports claim that the exploit is actively circulated and it may also work against Elden Ring, an upcoming title of Bandai Namco.
