Nettitude discover a critical vulnerability that compromises the security of user devices.

Nettitude announced we have identified a vulnerability affecting the Electronic Arts Origin Windows client. This discovery is a major find for Nettitude as we strive to continually enhance and maintain the security of our clients and the digital world we live in.

“EA Origin is used by millions of gamers around the world” says Chris Oakley, VP of Technical Services for the Americas at Nettitude. “This vulnerability allows threat actors to deploy malware to e.g. compromise banking and payment data, deploy ransomware, and more.”

Nettitude have found that Electronic Arts Origin Windows client has a vulnerability in the way it handles one of its software libraries. It also runs with excessive service permissions.

This combination of flaws allows an attacker to exploit a machine running the Origin Windows client by moving locally from a low privilege user to a user with the highest privileges. Subsequently, an attacker could easily deploy malware locally and even move laterally to other machines in the network for wider compromise.

A full technical analysis for this vulnerability can be found here. That article explains how we identified and exploited the vulnerability. It also provides guidance to developers on avoiding the same class of vulnerability. The vulnerability was discovered by Tom Wilson (@uint_ptr).

Electronic Arts were receptive to our report and, following communications with us, have recently produced an effective patch. As of the latest version, this local privilege escalation vulnerability in Electronic Arts Origin Windows client has been fixed. This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2020-27708.

1X2 Network has launched in West Virginia, marking its second regulated US market. The supplier said a first set of games went live on 3 June 2026 with Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino.

The company entered North America in Michigan two years ago and said it is expanding US distribution off the back of performance there. 1X2 Network did not disclose commercial terms or rollout timelines by operator.

Among the initial titles going live in West Virginia are 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win. The company said both games have been “ranked as top performers in North America” and are aimed at West Virginia’s “core 30-39 year old iGaming demographic.”

Kevin Reid, CEO at 1X2 Network, said: “Buoyed by the performance of our top tier titles in Michigan, we felt the time was right to step up our US expansion plans, and in Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino, we couldn’t think of three better operators to debut our launch into West Virginia.

“Having already worked with these brands in the Great Lakes State, we’re confident that games like 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win will deliver the same great results for them in West Virginia. We also have deals in the pipeline to go live with a number of other big-name operators which will further cement our presence in North America.”
