A researcher is warning that a gaming plug-in from Unity Technologies said it had identified the code paths leading to the vulnerabilities installed on over 200 million PCs contains a flaw that could let attackers steal users’ data from websites they’re logged into, such as their Web mail and social networking accounts.
The technology is used by hundreds of thousands of developers to create online games and other interactive 3D content. The researcher found a vulnerability that allows a malicious app to trick the player into allowing requests to be made to third-party websites..
The same attack could be done against users logged into Facebook or any other website as long as they have the Unity Web Player installed.
