Nintendo has quietly patched a security vulnerability that could give hackers access to compromised Switch, 3DS, and Wii U games.
Remember when Nintendo released its first update for Mario Kart 7 in 10 years? Well, it turns out that was to address a critical exploit that “could allow an attacker to achieve full console takeover”.
Whilst the issue was reportedly first noted back in 2021, PabloMK7, Rambo6Glaz, Fishguy6564 have been credited with the discovery of “ENLBufferPwn”, an exploit so serious, it was given a critical score of 9.8/10 in the CVSS 3.1 calculator.
