And it concerns the code leak of CS:GO and TF2. If I heard it correctly, it can be a problem for people who have those two games installed on their account. Although I am not sure if that only happens when you have those two games installed or that it can also affect accounts without those two games. What are your thoughts guys?

RCE is a oh shit exploit when used by bad actors and people who are able to pull it off are probably pretty skilled in hacking and know how to cover their tracks.

Ignoring the commercial side of things good code is written in a way where it does not matter if it is made public. Yes open code makes it 'easier' for people to find the flaws and exploit them. However the flaws were always there and exploitable. Generally the decision for open sourcing code is a mixture of commercial and risk based. Either way - the code quality should not change. I imagine from the brief skim of the link that it has an element of scaremongering as I read about uninstalling the application etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
