There's been RCE exploits in TF2 for 4 YEARS.

To sum up my sources for this claim: Maps/Community servers/Steam invites can be corrupted in a specific way to execute programs on the client. As of now most of these RCEs have been patched by Valve in the CS:GO beta, but I cannot say the same thing for TF2 as we have no letter of confirmation from Valve.

Sources:
[1] - Remote exploitation of the Valve Source game engine
[2] - CVE-2021-30481: Source engine remote code execution via game invites
Here are some more sources listed (by u/QuodJaw)

If you said you were confident there were no RCE exploits, then I'd be worried.

"I go with the opposite you say" kinda vibe.

Valve fixed this 6 months ago in tf2: https://i.imgur.com/XbI1hPU.png, would post the link but you actually already posted it lol

It's a very very foolish mindset to assume that there aren't bugs leading to rce in any software, let alone a c++ codebase from 2004, with old versions of 3rd party libraries, that valve has been adding to in the way that they have.

This specific bug in XZip has been found and patched, there are undoubtedly many more similar bugs in other parts of Source/tf2, and you should assume the same for nearly any software.

Seems that Valve only patched the steam invite RCE for TF2. What about CS:GO? What about the other RCEs?

good call, they most likely just forgot to patch the RCE in csgo, their most popular game except for maybe dota

fun rule of thumb AimIsADick: if someone like you knows about it, it's patched

also the write up says it's been patched in csgo and tf2, and that steam invites for other games will show a confirmation dialog when passed abnormal launch flags

Yeah you already told me. What about the map RCEs in CS:GO (and maybe TF2) though?
