Earlier this week, analysts at Underdog Security discovered a vulnerability in EA’s Origin game launcher that can allow hackers an opportunity to remotely run a malicious code on a user’s system. This flaw affects the PC version of Origin and, according to TechCrunch, Origin uses its own URL system for players to open the app by “clicking a link with origin:// in the address” line. However, the exploit “tricked” Origin into running any app on the user’s PC, giving them free access to everything.
