Security bugs found in the PlayStation Now (PS Now) cloud gaming Windows application allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code on Windows devices running vulnerable app versions.
PlayStation Now reached more than 2.2 million subscribers [PDF] at the end of April 2020 since the service's launch in 2014.

The vulnerabilities discovered by bug bounty hunter Parsia Hakimian affected PS Now version 11.0.2 and earlier on computers running Windows 7 SP1 or later.

Hakimian reported the PS Now bug on May 13, 2020, through PlayStation's official bug bounty program on HackerOne. PlayStation addressed the bug and tagged the bug report as 'Resolved' one month later, on June 25th, 2020.
