      I always wondered about the security aspect of gaming and mods. It feels understudied.

            There have been cases of crypto miners embedded but once discovered they're nuked so quick it's hard to get more than rumours.

            C# modding is the most likely vector (rimworld, cities skylines, unity stuff) but Skyrim skse mods are raw code too. All can be misused.

            Usually lua mods have a sandbox so they're safe. Eg.factorio. and, um, more but my mind has gone blank.
