October 3, Unit issued an e -mail message to warning developers who have released a game that has been using their engine since 2017 against a vulnerability discovered in the engine code. Although the vulnerability of the unit engine has no evidence of exploitation from this writing, the warning has sent some game developers who rush to patch all the titles concerned.
Originally released in 2005 and exploited by titles that Hollow Knight: SilksongThe Subnauticaand Among usUnity Engine is one of the most widely used engines in game development because of its support for computers and mobile devices. While Unity has dropped the land against Godot and Unreal Engine due to a controversial review fee plan that was introduced in 2023, Unity returned these changes in 2024 after criticizing the gaming industry. As it says, Unity Engine Licenses is available through a traditional subscription model, although Unity staff remain free for the first $ 200,000 revenue.
A safety error for the device motor has developers rushing to implement a fix
However, the unit motor is back in the limelight, although the circumstances are more difficult. According to reports, Unity Game Engine has a safety tidability in 2017.1 versions and later, including Unity 6. This vulnerability affects games released for Windows, Android, Linux and MacOS. The vulnerability is within Unity's Runtime code, which would allow an attacker to sweep sensitive information from an affected machine. However, unity stated that it has not discovered any evidence that the vulnerability is exploited and has proactively sent developers the necessary corrections to deal with it. Together with Unity, Microsoft Defender can detect and block the vulnerability of Windows devices, with Valve that adds its own protection via the Steam client.
Obsidian Entertainment stated that it temporarily removes Grounded 2The PentimentThe Agreedand Eternal players From all digital stores while it works to implement a fix for Unity's security error. Obsidian added that the move was made to protect its customers and that it will give its developers enough time to implement and test the necessary security fixes provided by Unity. Obsidian provided no timetable for when the drawn games would return to stores and asked the fans for patience in the meantime. By comparison Among us and Marvel Snap Have then released updates to deal with Unity Security Flaw.
Given that several titles on multiple platforms are driven by Unity, the list of games that are affected by the security tidability is not exhaustive. It remains to be seen how many games will require updates in the coming days.
