This made me think, okay, this particular exploit uses malicious code in a mod that targets an old embedded chromium vulnerability, and can be fixed by updating the game's dependencies. This game started a dozen years ago, but it's still being worked on.

How many retro games that are not still in development could have vulnerabilities like that? Especially moddable games.
