Dota 2 patch fixes a slew of bugs, but adds one more
The December 22 Dota 2 patch is relatively slim on the ground, simply fixing some bugs in the MOBA. Fans, however, have noticed that there’s a mistake with the new Silencer set that has overshadowed the update.

Saints Row IV’s forced Re-Elected “upgrade” has broken players’ saves and added bugs
What better way to win back your community after the rocky launch of a new game than by providing a free “upgrade” to a beloved old game? I’ve no way of knowing if that’s what Volition thought as they followed the poor reception of the Saints Row reboot by earlier this month “upgrading all copies” of Saints Row IV to Saints Row IV: Re-Elected, a version of the outlandish 2013 action game which includes all previously released DLC.
If it was what they thought, it hasn’t worked. Players report that Re-Elected isn’t an upgrade at all, but that it has broken their save games, their mods, and introduced new launch and crash bugs to the nine-year-old game.

Rainbow Six Siege Solar Raid update invite bugs have been resolved
December 6, 2022 Ubisoft says it’s fixed both the squad invite issue and the battle pass tokens and levels issue.
A Rainbow Six Siege update has made it impossible for some players to queue with their friends in the FPS game.

Not only can players not invite friends and squad members and friends to their lobbies, but issues have cropped up with battle pass ranks and last season’s ranked charms.

Hyundai App Bugs Allowed Hackers To Remotely Unlock, Start Cars
The mobile apps of Hyundai and Genesis, named MyHyundai and MyGenesis, allow authenticated users to start, stop, lock, and unlock their vehicles. After intercepting the traffic generated from the two apps, the researchers analyzed it and were able to extract API calls for further investigation. They found that validation of the owner is done based on the user’s email address, which was included in the JSON body of POST requests. Next, the analysts discovered that MyHyundai did not require email confirmation upon registration. They created a new account using the target’s email address with an additional control character at the end. Finally, they sent an HTTP request to Hyundai’s endpoint containing the spoofed address in the JSON token and the victim’s address in the JSON body, bypassing the validity check. To verify that they could use this access for an attack on the car, they tried to unlock a Hyundai car used for the research. A few seconds later, the car unlocked. The multi-step attack was eventually baked into a custom Python script, which only needed the target’s email address for the attack.
Yuga Labs analysts found that the mobile apps for Acura, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Nissan, Subaru, and Toyota, use SiriusXM technology to implement remote vehicle management features. They inspected the network traffic from Nissan’s app and found that it was possible to send forged HTTP requests to the endpoint only by knowing the target’s vehicle identification number (VIN). The response to the unauthorized request contained the target’s name, phone number, address, and vehicle details. Considering that VINs are easy to locate on parked cars, typically visible on a plate where the dashboard meets the windshield, an attacker could easily access it. These identification numbers are also available on specialized car selling websites, for potential buyers to check the vehicle’s history. In addition to information disclosure, the requests can also carry commands to execute actions on the cars. […] Before posting the details, Yuga Labs informed both Hyundai and SiriusXM of the flaws and associated risks. The two vendors have fixed the vulnerabilities.
