GTA V has averaged >100k concurrent players on steam for the last 3 years, so a RCE has a lot of potential targets ripe for exploitation.

  It only needs to make it into a mod-menu to get wide, unsuspecting distribution. For those curious, mod menus are what "hackers" use to exploit the gameplay for fun. Script-kiddies are a good analog in history. They're often just kids who googled GTA hacks and installed from the first page they thought looked cool. They'll be prime targets for distribution.

    Interestingly enough, it seems like some of these "mod menus" have already patched the exploit. Having one of these is almost a requirement for playing GTA Online these days, purely for the defensive features they offer against other cheaters. It's still a mess and requires trust (or a VM).

    Just like script-kiddies back in the day, the easiest vector of attack is to distribute infected “hacking” tools
