Summary

In this report, the researcher discovered that user credentials were, during the login process, briefly being stored in plaintext in memory for the Rockstar Games Launcher application. Exploitation would have required an attacker to have user-level access to the device in question. The credentials could be retrieved by dumping the application's memory shortly after login. This issue has been resolved, and the user's password is no longer exposed in application memory.
