The vulnerability stems from how the preprocessor—which is not fully "syntax-aware"—handles code before and after processing.
The most prominent "exploit" specifically titled "Pico 3.0.0-alpha.2" involves the PICO-8 preprocessor. Pico 3.0.0-alpha.2 Exploit
The exploit in question allows an attacker to potentially gain unauthorized access or control over a device running the vulnerable firmware. Such exploits are critical because they can be used to compromise the security of devices, leading to data breaches, device hijacking, or other malicious activities. The vulnerability stems from how the preprocessor—which is
