Video game publisher Ubisoft has acknowledged and patched a problem with its Uplay PC service which would have allowed an attacker to use a browser plug-in in order to gain access to the user’s computer.
The statement from the company reads, “We have made a forced patch to correct the flaw in the browser plug-in for the Uplay PC application that was brought to our attention earlier today. We recommend that all Uplay users update their Uplay PC application without a Web browser open. This will allow the plug-in to update correctly.”
It adds, “An updated version of the Uplay PC installer with the patch also is available from Uplay.com”, the statement continued, “Ubisoft takes security issues very seriously, and we will continue to monitor all reports of vulnerabilities within our software and take swift action to resolve such issues.”
The list of games that came packaged with the Ubisoft service and might put the player at risk includes:
