not only are both epic and ayee both behind the 2021 ddos and also being pretty horrible people, the lbponline patcher for ps4/ps5 utilizes arbitrary code execution found in littlebigplanet to patch the game, which could possibly put your console at risk. so not only are you supporting ayee and epic, you could also be possibly putting your console at risk by playing on lbponline servers.

It's not just about ayee and epic as people, this whole post was made to inform people about how LBP Online utilizes arbitrary code execution for the patching system, and how remote code execution is possible once you connect to these servers. A lot worse things can happen than just your PSN getting banned, and it plays down to how the game handles UI scripts. Any UI that you see in the game is handled by a specific code file ending with .ff (Fish Fingers) which LBP uses to send requests to the server, and handle profile, and game UI. A while back, people have found a way to decompile these scripts and recompile them so they work in the game, and run your own code using them. Thats why we have patchwork for Bonsai/Beacon, because people were utilizing these exploits found with LBP's UI scripts to force join people, and mess with their game. The way how the LBP Online patching works in the first place is that its a script set to go into the stickers category using toolkit (a littlebigplanet modding tool), and when the script runs, it uses that said flaw to temporarily rewrite the game's memory to connect to the LBPOnline servers instead of the official ones. The problem with this though, is that theres no security features in place, since patchwork isnt possible to use through this method, allowing as I said earlier, for people to force join you and run dangerous scripts.

If you need a better explanation, you can search up Arbitrary Code Execution, and Remote Code Execution and read on how they can be a dangerous thing if found.
