    Call of Duty games on steam are a security risk


    Hi,

    Since you guys own the Call of Duty IP now, I just wanted to bring attention to the RCE found in them, especially Black Ops II which had its servers taken over.

    MW2, MW3, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and Black Ops 1 have unpatched RCE that allow the user to basically take over someone else’s PC

    Black Ops 2 is a special case, since contrary to popular opinion does not use peer 2 peer matchmaking, but has matchmaking based on servers. This allows some bad actors to take the server files and thus take over the servers. Well it actually happened and blasts mods has ALL THE SERVERS. Blasts can use the servers to RCE anyone playing on public matches at anytime all at once. Public matches on the Steam version of Call of Duty: Black Ops II is basically a huge RAT.

    MW2, MW3, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 1 also have RCE, but Black Ops II is the most popular out of these and is a risk to unaware customers.

    Also please let us create servers in Black Ops 1 Steam again, thanks.

    Hello TRethehedgehog,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We take security very seriously and in order for the game publisher to further investigate this matter, kindly report this issue to Activision Support team. You may also report this issue to Steam Support.



    We'll leave this thread open for our other amazing and helpful volunteers and community members, just in case they have some insights or knowledge they want to impart. However, our team specifically will bow-out for now, since our findings is that this concern is beyond the reach of the community.

    Why do we have to pay for live again?

    the risk reward of hacking accounts isnt there. you would have to be a moron to want to try and pass security and leave yourself open to arrest and fines to hack someones account over some deaths in a call of duty game lol
