The method of this attack remains unknown, but Easy Anti-Cheat released a statement earlier today absolving itself of responsibility. "We have examined recent reports regarding a potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) problem within Easy Anti-Cheat," it announced via Twitter. "As of now, we are certain that no RCE vulnerability within EAC has been exploited. We will maintain close cooperation with our partners to provide any necessary additional assistance."
The significance of this statement is further underscored by the fact that it marks Easy Anti-Cheat's first tweet since May 2019. Evidently, the company views this matter as critical, and understandably so. Identifying the source of the vulnerability—whether within Easy Anti-Cheat or Apex Legends—is of paramount importance. It could signify whether this Remote Code Execution (RCE) issue is confined to one game or has the potential to be exploited in other games utilizing EAC, including Fortnite, War Thunder, Lost Ark, Elden Ring, and Hunt: Showdown, among others.
