Kinda sad that it's 2026 and this data still goes over the internet unencrypted...
RTMP and all the video and audio protocols behind it aren't trivial either - I bet there are hundreds of exploits waiting to be found that any three letter agency sitting on the internet can use to take over your PS5 and all credentials stored within too...
Wouldn't this require a man-in-the-middle since the PS5 is transmitting data to a specific server, YouTube or Twitch in the article?
There are extensions to RTMP to use encryption or even just TLS. But do you mean that the risk of fragments of audio and video bitstreams going out unprotected presents a remote code execution risk? That seems less a problem of vulnerability and more one of privacy.
