Call of Duty: Remote Code Execution

Activision has yanked Call of Duty: WWII from the Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass after multiple PC players reported getting hacked mid-game—think sudden freezes, command-line pop-ups, swapped wallpapers and scary “RCE’d” warnings. The issue stems from an old, unpatched build that accidentally made its way into June’s Game Pass rollout, leaving a remote-code-execution flaw wide open.

Only the Microsoft storefront and Game Pass versions are affected (Steam, Xbox and other platforms keep running), and Activision says it’s investigating the mishap. Until they patch and re-release a secure build, PC players won’t be able to grab the game through Microsoft’s channels.
