The recent addition of Call of Duty: WWII to Xbox Game Pass has been overshadowed by serious security concerns on PC. Reports indicate that the 2017 first-person shooter contains critical vulnerabilities that allow hackers to execute remote commands and potentially take control of players' systems.

This marks the fourth Call of Duty title to join Microsoft's subscription service following the tech giant's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. While the campaign remains safe to play, multiplayer modes have become a breeding ground for malicious actors exploiting outdated security measures.

Microsoft's landmark $69 billion acquisition of Activision-Blizzard in 2023 brought numerous iconic franchises under its umbrella. While newer titles like Black Ops 6 and Diablo 4 have transitioned smoothly to Game Pass, older entries like WWII present unexpected challenges.

The security issues appear particularly severe in Call of Duty: WWII, with multiple reports confirming remote code execution exploits. These vulnerabilities go beyond typical cheating problems, potentially compromising players' entire systems when joining multiplayer matches.

Community members have expressed frustration that Activision didn't implement updated anti-cheat measures before adding the 2017 title to Game Pass. The service's massive user base means thousands of unsuspecting players may be exposed to these security risks.
