CD Projekt Red has warned players that it must be installed Cyberpunk 2077 mods or personal storage files on the computer may pose a security risk (via Kotaku). According to the company’s tweet, there is apparently a “vulnerability in external DLLs that the game uses, which can be used to execute code on computers.” The game’s official mod tool was just released last week.
The company warns users not to install files from unknown sources Kotaku points out that it excludes almost all mods unless you can read and understand the code. If you are dealing with a vulnerability that could potentially lead to random code running on your computer, it is probably best not to risk it until a solution is available.
If you plan to use @CyberpunkGame mods / personal storage on a computer, be careful. We have been made aware of the vulnerability in external DLLs that the game uses to execute code on computers. The issue will be fixed ASAP. For now, refrain from using files from unknown sources.
