Valve's had a leak, you've probably heard about it, but I'm writing about it incase you haven't.
The leak's letting people do remote code executions, stealing everything from your Steam inventory and in extreme cases, bricking your PC. So for everyone's sake, stay away from online Source games until Valve tells you it's good.

the source code can potentially be used to backdoor other source games so assume gmod isnt safe

lol the code for the engine GMod uses was leaked literally 10+ years ago because it uses Source 2007
[doublepost=1587579743][/doublepost]@MaXenzie you can literally find most of it on github :laughing:
[doublepost=1587579813][/doublepost]it's also worth remembering that although the code being leaked makes it easier to find exploits, the vulnerable code was always there

So can I play the server without getting my ass kicked by some dickhead or what?

the exploit being circulated already has a fix and but it could very well be in the source2007 engine
[doublepost=1587581062][/doublepost]i've been told that the engine version that gmod uses might have already fixed this, i'm not certain but gmod is targeted a lot more with exploits like this so it wouldn't surprise me all too much. valve seem reluctant to fix things generally

I don't speak technical, I speak yes or no sir.

Maybe isn't either of those things.
To sum it up; Gmod's source got leaked like a decade and a bit ago and may have been fixed anyway.
