Silvermoons chats full of pic in trade chat lol, they’ve even posted pics of cutscenes from SL we’ve not seen yet (the one on beta purposely left out). They’ve been going over an hour too, 30+ pics in trade chat.

Bit worrying if they can do this, and get cutscenes we’ve not seen anywhere yet. What other stuff are they getting access to? o_O

Feel sorry for everyone in the middle of something that suddenly has issues.
Happy WoW anniversary I guess ^^’

is it known which addon has a bug to cause seeing that pictures? I would like to avoid using it in case it goes back to those macro-command injections like some years ago

I’m running pretty barebones addons at mo, only thing it could be in Elvui I guess?

Elvui does a lot of weird stuff with the chat, like the emoji things. I’ll check their Discord to see if it’s known or dangerous/exploitable

If it was Elvui causing this I would see those pictures aswell but I dont
(Picture Puny posted is when I tried to disable all addons to see if it ‘helps’)

That’s some hacking for sure, taking down the character servers then somehow using the trade chat on the servers to trigger a bug in a random WoW addon.

Shame about my last few hours of gametime…wich will now tick away while I’m unable to even play…
Perhaps they should just make playtime count when you’re actually in game, but that’s not good for da profits…

Pretty freaky really, if they can get the servers to do that, how deep is their access going? Hopefully not as far as account compromising.
