Meccha Chameleon maps infected with malware as Discord server suffers a hack

User-made Steam Workshop maps for the indie hit Meccha Chameleon were found to contain malware (notably in Laser Tag Neon, with a follow-up map Chroma Grid Arena), prompting removal. The developer stressed the game itself is safe and attributed the Discord server breach to a compromised admin account after 2FA was bypassed. A patch (v3.1.0) was released to fix the vulnerability and remove malicious maps, and the Discord server has been restored. Players who downloaded affected maps are advised to run malware scans. Meccha Chameleon has sold around 15 million copies in a month.

Claude Code CLI RCE via Malicious Deeplinks Prompted Quick Patch (2.1.118)

The flaw came from a context-blind argument parser that treated --settings overrides found inside a deeplink’s q parameter as legitimate, enabling injection of a SessionStart hook at startup. Anthropic released a fix in Claude Code 2.1.118 and urged users to update; the issue highlights the risks of eager CLI parsing and deeplink handling.
