PlayStation Now bugs let sites run malicious code on Windows PCs

Security bugs found in PlayStation Now (PS Now) cloud gaming Windows application allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code on Windows devices running vulnerable app versions. The vulnerabilities were discovered by bug bounty hunter Parsia Hakimian. He was awarded a $15,000 bounty for his report even though his submission was not in-scope i.e., it affected a Windows app and not one of the target assets included in the bug bounty program. PlayStation addressed the bug and tagged the bug report as ‘Resolved’ one month later, on June 25th, 2020.
