Game modification via unchecked function-update packets
Published Oct 21, 2024 · Updated Oct 21, 2024
Missing authorization in arm32x Command Block IDE 0.4.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to modify game function files. The global APPLY_FUNCTION packet receiver in CommandBlockIDE#onInitialize merges and applies client-supplied function payloads without checking the sender's permission level. The path exists only when the mod is installed on a dedicated server; changed functions can alter in-game behavior but cannot execute arbitrary host code, and client-only installations are unaffected.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
