On April 7th, we received reports from multiple users regarding a mod that was allegedly generating malicious code when run. We immediately investigated the mod in question, which contained heavily obfuscated code, and confirmed that it was creating malicious files outside of the Project Zomboid directory.

Further investigation revealed that the same user had uploaded a total of 14 mods, all containing the same exploit. These mods had been installed on between 500 and 2200 devices. The user has since been banned, and all affected mods have been removed from the Steam Workshop.

At this time, the full scope and behavior of the malicious files have not been fully determined. However, because these mods were capable of creating files outside the game directory, we strongly recommend that anyone who downloaded them take appropriate security measures to ensure their system is safe. Simply uninstalling the mods is not sufficient.

Affected Mods

• Risk of Rain 2 OST (True MoooZIC) Workshop ID: 3681934105 - Mod ID: RiskOfRain2Music

Additional Information

This exploit only affected Build 42 branches. Build 41 was not vulnerable to this specific issue.

The security updates released for Build 41 today address a separate vulnerability identified during an internal audit. At this time, we have found no evidence that this separate vulnerability has been exploited.

As with previous security fixes, we have updated the outdatedunstable branch to match the unstable branch to avoid leaving a known vulnerability accessible. Going forward, outdatedunstable will continue to lag one content update behind unstable.

Quick Update Notice

We have seen a lot of people misunderstanding this situation. The affected mods above are not the True Moozic mod, nor were they created by the author of the True Moozic mod. The affected mods were simply add-ons for True Moozic. They did not leverage the True Moozic mod as part of the exploit, and they were made without the consent of the True Moozic mod's author.

As mentioned above, the perpetrator has been banned and is no longer able to upload to the Workshop. All of the affected mods have also been removed from the workshop. If you see a mod on the workshop, it was not part of this incident.

[UPDATE 2026-03-20] - We have pushed additional hotfixes to fix rare crash bugs for both the stable and unstable branches. The version numbers below have been updated to reflect the current versions.

On the 3rd of March we were made aware of a significant security vulnerability in the game thanks to a member of our modding community, copiumsawsed, who responsibly reported the issue to us. We immediately investigated the vulnerability, and were fortunately able to patch it on the main stable branch, and on the unstable branch that same day. We were however unable to patch every legacy version in that time frame, and rather than leave the vulnerability in place until we were able to patch every version, we opted to temporarily remove all of the legacy versions from circulation. Over the following days we patched the legacy versions, and eventually brought them back.

Shortly after that incident we received another report from a member of our amazing modding community, Albion, while at the same time we were conducting our own internal security audit. We immediately began investigating the reported issue, and confirmed it, as well as some additional issues that our internal audit identified. These new vulnerabilities were more complex to resolve, however our team has been working diligently since the report to patch the issues, and today we have released patches to a number of our branches. Legacy versions that could not yet be patched have again been removed from official circulation to ensure user safety. The current available versions are:

Default Public Version -> 41.78.18 unstable -> 42.15.3 outdatedunstable -> 42.15.2 (this will lag 1 minor version behind unstable going forward)

Like the vulnerability reported on the 3rd of March, these new vulnerabilities only affected mods, and we have received no reports of anyone being affected in a malicious way due to these issues, nor have we seen anybody being exploited in the wild. Nevertheless, we have both a legal and an ethical responsibility to ensure that our users are protected, and so some difficult decisions had to be made.

Unfortunately, due the extensive work required to patch these vulnerabilities, legacy versions will remain unavailable. We would love to be able to bring them back eventually, however our team's priority needs to be Build 42 stable, and future content updates. We are exploring ways to safely reintroduce legacy versions in a way that does not impact future development, but we are unable to make any commitments at this time.

It is possible that some mods may be affected by this patch, however we estimate the number of affected mods to be very low. If you are a mod developer and your mod stops working after this update, for either Build 41 or Build 42, please report it in our #mod_portal channel on (https://discord.gg/theindiestone). This will allow us to quickly receive feedback, and if necessary, release a hotfix.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

FAO MODDERS

Please see the linked guide for information on how to update your mods to work with 42.13.0 and beyond, and how to make your mods MP compatible.

MULTIPLAYER DETAILS

The Multiplayer build is WIP for stress testing. To ensure a smoother experience and simplify bug tracking and resolution, please adhere to the following guidelines before joining a MP session:

• Disable Debug and Mods (even client ones).
• Disable Ragdoll physics.
• We strongly recommend only playing in coop or on whitelisted servers.
• We do not recommend having more than 20 player-slots on your Dedi servers for now.

NEW

• Improved target selection when aiming firearms. The system now prioritizes body parts, making the head the primary target, followed by the spine, pelvis, and then other limbs.

• Inventory/Object Interaction:

  • Update items that can be equipped/unequipped while walking -- Appropriate clothing and container items can be equipped while walking, such as hats, gloves, glasses, satchels, backpacks, etc. -- If a character is walking while also performing the unequip action for a clothing or container item that cannot be worn while walking then the unequip action will be cancelled.
  • Added a new body location slot, "satchel". Satchels, water bags, and cowboy canteens now all use the body location slot "satchel". Water bags and cowboy canteens previously used the ammo_strap body location. Satchels previously used the back body location.
  • Double Clicking on Items in inventory should perform non-destructive actions if appropriate.
    • Double Clicking on Bandages now applies them to an injury. If there are multiple body parts that can benefit from being bandaged, then the body part that is inflicting the most current damage will be the one that is bandaged.
    • Double-clicking on literature and map items that are in the players inventory, will, if they are supposed to be readable by the player, will start the reading actions.

• Added a new type of style layer, "Text", to the in-game map. -- Text layers are used to define the font and color of the baked-in map annotations, instead of specifying font and color for every annotation separately. When a text annotation's alpha value is set to zero, the text-layer's color is used. -- User annotations are all assigned to the "text-note" layer that uses the Handwritten font.

• Updated streets.xml with Louisville streets.

• Optimized rendering of image pyramids in the in-game map.

These can be changed in ContextMenu_EN.txt to whatever text strings would be desirable.

Recipe Browsing:

• Inventory items that can be used as inputs for craft recipes that the player can "See" or knows can be right-clicked to reveal an option to see recipes; this will open the crafting UI with the required item filter set to the item in question.

Closer to 50% -- No longer 100% guaranteed severe fracture to two limbs if jumping off third storey building. Closer to 90% -- Fatal falls no longer completely remove all damage if unscratched chance is hit. Now it's still not fatal, but still deals 5% of total calculated damage.

• Fall damage hurts more when already injured. -- Broken legs and spine multiply the incurred damage the most. -- Broken arms cause almost as much. -- Other injuries such as deep injuries and minor injuries also append some damage. -- Fixed missing falling anim for when character first starts falling.

How do I subscribe to the Unstable beta branch?

[expand type=details expanded=false ]

NEW

• General improvements to player map.

• Added street names to the in-game map.

• Added a new type of style layer to the in-game map, called ImagePyramid. This is used to control the draw order and color of image pyramids.

• Forests no longer fade out when zooming out on the in-game map. The fading out was done due to the slowness of drawing all the forest polygons. Now, the zoomed-out forests are rendered using an image pyramid.

• Textures in image-pyramid zip files are no longer loaded on the render thread. Loading is now done on filesystem threads. When a needed image isn't yet loaded, a lower-resolution one is rendered instead.

• Updated Fire and Smoke visuals. (Please note this is a visual change only, and not a full system redesign, which remains planned for future builds).

• Added gizmo controls for rotating and moving items during extended placement.

• Added the ability for 90 minute days (now the new default for Apocalypse) to be selected in the sandbox settings. Existing saves will not have their day length modified.

• Added zombie sandbox option to enable/disable "Voronoi Noise" randomisation of distribution. -- The option to turn off the voronoi noise cutoff is not meant to be a general "opt out", it's a tool destined to workshop mappers to keep distribution deterministic. Disabling it will also double the amount of zombie spawned.

• "Adding Barricades" moved to Build menu.

• Doors must now be closed before placing a barricade.

• Metal bar barricades now accept steel bars.

• Added new SFX for Clapping SFX, Opening Fridges.

• Removed the current sandbox setting for non-unique home VHS tapes, as the current implementation does not work as intended.

• Added controller support for Fishing.

• Changed cast button on gamepad to RT + improved switch between gamepad/keyboard for fishing.

MODELS/ANIMS

• Added animations for lunging zombies and zombies that turn on the spot.

• Added animations for zombies staggering left and right.

• Reverted a previous fix for Balaclava Clipping after player feedback. Changed Balaclava body location back to Mask.

• Added alternate models for when hoodie, padded jacket and poncho hoods are up while wearing Balaclava.

• Added new alternative models for Bandana mask to be worn when certain clothing hoods are up.

• Changed Welding mask to use nobeard hair group. Note that some clipping will still occurs but it is far better than before.

• Changed animated clock hands to use textures instead of models.

  • Added media/scripts/clocks.txt to specify animated clock hand details, instead of being hard-coded.
  • Added clock hands to the double-tile walls_detailing_02 clock seen in West Point's city hall.

BALANCE

• New Default Apocalypse will have 90 minute days.

• Adjusted the Default Apocalypse sandbox loot settings from 0.4 to 0.6 for all individual loot settings.

• Industrial Dye can Spawn in many more colors.

• Players can now sneak with heavily damaged feet, albeit much more slowly.

• Fixed issues with new zombie spawn map system that, for example, were spawning far too many zombies at isolated cabins - and at police stations. Also general balance and polish put in.

DEBUG

• Added street-name editor to the F8 map editor.

• Items List Viewer now shows an additional "#spawn" column that indicates the number of times each inventory item has appeared either as loot or story-clutter. es.

• Save and Load are placeholder/alternative text for copy-pasting coordinates to and from the clipboard.
• Added double click on Load coordinates triggers teleport to the clipboard coordinates.
• Added support for 2 part coordinates for x and y, assumes z is 0 in these cases.
  • Added check if player has moved to enable Refresh button when coordinates do not match the player location.

Adding perks via debug menu.

• Added modifyTraitXPBoost helper method for adjusting XP boosts when traits are added or removed.

• Removing traits via debug menu does not make changes to the perk levels on an existing player, this is intentional as there may be issues at levels 0 and 10 when perk levels are adjusted via debug or mods.

  • the debug menu has the function to directly adjust character perk levels, so the functionality to manually do this is still possible.

• Added new debug option: CollideWithObstacles.Debug.SlideAwayFromWall. Defaults to TRUE on non-debug builds.

FIXES

• Fixed Sleeping Crash
• Fixed Crawlers being difficult to target.
• Fixed double doors spawning extra objects when opening.

• Fixed character creation clothing error on starting game
• Fixed unused tile properties still being present.

**UNSTABLE WARNING - DUE TO CHANGES TO THE ZED SPAWNING SYSTEM SOME UNEXPECTED SPAWNS COULD OCCUR IN EXISTING SAVES - UNSTABLE WARNING **

How do I subscribe to the Unstable beta branch?

[expand type=details expanded=false ]

NEW

• Zombie spawn map is now generated automatically. -- Two levels of noise are applied to the spawn map to generate a variety of Z spawn configurations. -- Noise is seed-based so each new game will return a different configuration, unless a specific seed chosen.

Details:

An improved Zed Spawn Heat Map system has been implemented. The Heat map is now generated automatically based on certain tiles' locations on the map. Each of those selected tiles is given a certain radius of influence and a zombie spawn multiplier. For instance, Military tiles will have a large radius and a high zombie multiplier, while Vacant tiles (ie: broken windows for instance) will have a medium radius and a low zombie multiplier.

This system is also coupled with a seed-based cell noise that subtracts from the aforementioned zombie spawn heat map in order to break the predictability of, for example, always having lots of zombies next to a military base.

There are two noise levels overlaid on top of each other which will provide variety on a residential scale and on a district scale. ie: Sometimes a normally busy building will have no zombies (or at least fewer zombies), and sometimes and entire street or block will be voided of zombies (think LV)

The system will work with all modded maps and allow workshop mappers to adjust their heat map if they are not happy with the generated result.

This system does not drive the presence and the number of zombies inside houses, this is done through an entirely other system, it only affects Zombies spawning outside buildings.

We will be adjusting the tiles selection (that generate those areas of infleunce) so as to make sure there are not too many weird edge cases, but overall we hope that this will be a much more robust system that will provide a more consistent Z distribution and a certain level of surprise.

You can look at what it looks like in debug mode under the map options. In the images attached to this post you can see the zombie heat map of Muldraugh (the brighter it is the more zombie are spawning), while the other is the exposed cell noise with those two scales made visible.

It is also an intention that the tendrils of the noise will allow for some sort of empty corridors that should allow for easier sneaking between locations too, although clearly zeds have the ability to move and drift having spawned.

41.8.0:

NEW

• Introducing ragdoll physics.

  • Ragdolls are currently enabled for vehicle collisions and gunplay.
  • Melee ragdolls are planned but are not imminent.
  • This is the first implementation of a new feature that requires testing, balance feedback, visual feedback, and performance reports.

  • Ragdolls can be turned off on initial load, and can be turned on or off in Options at any time.

• Biomes improvements

• Added sand banks and areas of clay when close to water on the map

• Added a more granular way to define the floor upon which things are created. "params.placements" now takes all the types of "features" plus "GENERIC", which is used as the old "params.placements".

• Blending is more advanced now.

  • Added new properties to floor tiles ("FloorMaterial", "IsFloorAttached", "FloorAttachementN/S/E/W").
  • Removed "Attachments.lua", "Similar.lua", and all "attach" from the features.

• If both objects are vehicles, the distance is between the closest points on the bounding boxes of both vehicles.

• HotSave improvements. Add hot-saving of Player Map, Animal Zones, and Game time. (This system is saving elements of the game world around you as you play, meaning that should your game crash or unexpectedly exit, you will not travel back in time / lose progress)

• Added container outlines for corpses.

• The Grab context menu now shows multiple corpses, and highlights corpses the same way items are highlighted.

• Added options to the Wash context menu to wash "All Containers", "All Weapons", and "All Other" (like rags). The "All Clothing" option only washes clothing items, not containers/weapons/rags.

• Added Jar of Roe recipe.

• Added animal's milk powder.

• For now, you can only use it with either a bucket full of water or a feeding bottle full of water. (1 bag for 2 buckets of 10L)

• You can now give this animal's milk to any hungry or thirsty animal.

• This is to help people keep the baby animal if the mother has died in labor.

• Changes on wild animal hunting:

• Shooting an animal will now make it flee instead of dropping dead instantly.

• Animal will flee while leaving a blood trail that can be followed to find the corpse.

• Animal will flee for some time, dependent on type (deer flee longer than rabbits as they're bigger and bleed out for longer) and aiming skill (to simulate if you've hit closer to the heart).

• Changed how animals become domesticated (aka "not wild"):

• Before, it was when the animal was put in a designated zone.

• Now it becomes domesticated when picked up.

• This is to avoid making a zone to quickly "capture" rats & mice.

• The "Grab" and "Extended 3D Placement" context menus show item icons.

• The "C" button / key in the in-game map pans to the player's current position, instead of instantly jumping there.

• Changed the "Zombie Outfit" combobox in the Horde Manager debug UI to be searchable.

• When performing actions like taking pills, reading items, using a lighter or matches to light a cigarette, drinking from a container, or eating part of a food item, if the item is not in the player's main inventory, the character will try to return it afterward. Does not work for characters that have the Disorganized trait.

• When lighting campfires etc. the items that are used to light the fire, such as a Lighter, will be returned to their container of origin.

• Set up a function in HandWeapon.java, randomizeFirearmAsLoot, to serve as a single function for randomizing firearms.

• Firearms that spawn as clutter will have their ammunition/magazine status randomized.

• Weapons and other items with conditions that "matter", or have sharpness values, will have those values randomized when they spawn as clutter.

• Added code support for there being mapper-defined "NoPower", "NoWater" and "NoPowerOrWater" zones to handle instances like the burned villages or derelict buildings that shouldn't have power or running water.

• Light switches, electricity, etc. will not work in rooms that have "derelict" in their room definition name, or are in a no-power map zone.

• Water containing tiles, such as sinks and toilets, in rooms that have "derelict" in their room definition name, or are in a no-water map zone, will not have any water in them.

• Added the functions getPowerGridLifespan and doesPowerGridExist() to SandboxOptions.java to simplify evaluating the current state of the power grid.

• Added the functions isNoPower, isNoWater, and hasGridPower to IsoGridSquare to simplify evaluating the current state of the power grid for specific squares.

• When eating food and an eating utensils such as a spoon, fork or spork would change the eating animation/speed/benefits, the timed action code will search the player's inventory recursively through all bags for a utensil versus just the primary inventory. I.e. you can keep your spork in your fanny pack or backpack and still use it.

• Moar flyers from the flyer-factory

• Some new clothing items added to some appropriate zombie outfits.

• Added the functions dumpContentsInSquare to IsoObject, IsoObjectUtils, and ItemContainer.java

• Added the MacOS Command and Command+Shift keys as valid cycle-container keys.

• Adjusted the lerp function when driving on grass, should make towing a trailer on grass way easier.

• Lowered the center of mass of the animal trailer to make them tip over less (bear in mind, turning aggressively at 40MPH will still make them flip over!).

• Force towed trailers to be rendered when inside the car.

• Added the OutputFlag "IsBlunt" to handle cases where we want the items produced to be Blunt, with it's sharpness set to 0.

• Added the OutputFlags "HasOneUse" to handle cases where we want the items produced to have only one use, such as getting 1 unit of thread produced by picking a rag.

• Added the OutputFla "HasNoUses" to handle cases where we want any drainable items produced to be empty of any uses, such as making lanterns without any fuel in them.

• Added Propane delivery stepvan vehicle

• Added raccoons lying down.

BLACKSMITHING

• Added missing craft recipe to make a Carpentry Chisel.

• Added a craft recipe to forge a Wrench; giving the Calipers item some functionality.

• Several metal armor items can now be smelted for Steel; aside from handling sourcing steel, it also serves as a means of recycling/"repairing" broken metal armor.

• Players can now craft Copper, Gold, and Silver Hurricane Lanterns.

• Several blade-Blacksmithing crafts will accept blades of an appropriate size and tier as an input instead of a metal bar; you could use a hunting knife blade to make a new hunting knife blade, or a long spear blade instead.

• This serves as a means to repair damaged blades, as well as being something people would do in real life, to repair items or repurpose their material.

TAILORING

• Added the Tailoring recipe magazine "Homespun", which teaches the learnable craft recipes for normal, simple clothing items.

• Added a "Sewing Pattern" item that works similarly to recipe clipping and schematics in that it teaches a single random Tailoring recipe.

• Some item research definitions for Tailoring progression.

• Added craft recipe and item for crafted ammo straps, both shells and bullets/cartridges. "Normal" (non-crafted) ammo straps can be Black or Brown; crafted ones will be Brown.

• Long Coats, with respective textures and other qualities, can be made from the furred hides of different breeds of Cows and Calves.

• Jackets, as above, can be made from the furred hides of Cows, Calves, and Deer.

• Furred Coat and Jacket Recipes are in the Cowboy Tailoring recipe magazine; known by characters with the Sewer Trait; can be researched; and are in the Survival Schematic recipe pool.

• Added Sinew Thread item.

• Added a craft recipe to make Sinew Thread from Sinew.

• Sinew Thread is one of the materials that can be used to make Twine.

• Many leather/hide/armor recipes, but not all (there's some allowances for wilderness scenario starts), now require Sinew Thread and not normal Thread.

• In addition to being a requirement for some crafts, Sinew Thread can be used in lieu of Thread for other Tailoring-related crafted recipes.

• Tanned, Furred Animal Hides that are "Large" and "Medium" sized, adult Cattle, Swine, Sheep and Deer, can be cut into Half, and for Cattle, Quarter pieces; this is so they can be rendered into smaller pieces for crafting smaller leather/hide items without wasting an entire hide, such as making a hat or a wallet from a cow's hide.

GENERAL CRAFT

• Added a debug tool to right-click on inventory items and, if they are used as an input for at least one craft recipe, a debug option is provided to see a list of the craft recipes it can be used for.

• Added the craft recipe and items for carving Bone and Wood Dice.

• Added a craft recipe to Untie sheet ropes; in previous builds sheet ropes could be made from many clothing items, and under the assumption that this was still true in b42, the recipe wasn't added as untying sheet ropes to recover specific clothing items becomes problematic.

• Added several researchable recipes for crafting progression to multiple axe and axe head items.

• Added a separate craft recipe to nail-spike full football shoulder pads and crash helmets as they both visually have more spikes than other items, and also to handle the nail # paradox of spiking full football pads versus single-side pads.

• Changed the craft recipe parser to not process skill level requirements of 0; mechanically, it's the same as not having any skill level requirement, but the appearance of 0-level Skill Requirements in the UI might confuse some people.

• Added a craft recipe to carve wooden cutting boards from a plank.

• Added a new inputFlag, MayDegradeVeryLight, which degrades tools at half the rate that MayDegradeLight does.

• Added the SharpKnife item tag so the Straight Razor item can be used for crafting; however, it also has very low durability values and will also be liable to break when used for crafting.

• isc

• Added a Tailor profession.

• Added toy capgun pistols and rifles, and their ammunition. These still need custom sounds, and currently use the .38 Special Revolver sound effects as placeholders.

• Added an zombie outfit for wild west town law enforcement, as per the flyer.

• Zombies in the wild west town law enforcement or outlaw outfits can have capguns on them; these were used in performances.

• Snowglobes are now for specific locations, using the postcard title pool; they used to make Snowglobes for everywhere/everything.

• Harmonica and Whistles are now visible when blown.

• Added new left and right Gaiter items; Gaiters can be crafted and will sometimes spawn on some appropriate zombie outfits.

• The code for stitching wounds and patching clothing now looks for thread by both item type and also item tag; this allows Sinew Thread to work for these purposes.

• Added the "break on smithing" item tooltip to ceramic molds that break when used in smithing crafts.

• Added craft recipe and item for crafted ammo straps, both shells and bullets/cartridges.

• "Normal" (non-crafted) ammo straps can be Black or Brown; crafted ones will be Brown.

• Added items and craft recipes for the player to make leather masks, elbow pads, and knee pads.

• Added a crafting QOL feature where items that can be used as inputs for favorited recipes will have a user-defined-good-color, which defaults to green, a star overlay on their inventory icon, and good color text in their item tooltip.

  • The favourite-star for recipes in the craft recipe UI and the building UI will be the user-defined-good-color, which defaults to green.

• Added a Tarp Piece item and a craft recipe to cut a Tarp into Pieces.

  • Tarp Pieces are used instead of whole Tarps for many, but not all, Tarp-Tailoring crafts.
  • You still need an entire whole Tarp to make a Tent, Lean-to, or Poncho.
  • It is intentional that you can't tape together Tarp Pieces to make a new Tarp.
  • As Tarps are fairly common items, and there a a fair amount of Tailoring craft recipes that use Tarps, cutting Tarps into Tarp Pieces was added so that players didn't have to use an entire Tarp to make a single smaller item, or be forced to make multiple instances of the small item from one Tarp.

• Added items and craft recipes for Tarp sling bags, sacks, handwraps, footwraps, hats, and framepacks.

• Added items and craft recipe for crafting Fanny Packs out of Tarp Pieces.

• The appropriate Head Sacks can be produced from Tarp and Hide Sacks, and Crafted Pillows, from the Cut Head Sack craft recipe.

BALANCE

• The crude Hide clothing recipes can use Thread or Twine interchangeably; this is because Thread may be difficult to produce in some scenarios.
• Additionally the crudest of the Hide clothing can also be crafted with either of an Awl or sewing Needle; again, this is so players can produce the barest minimum of clothing in Forest Map scenarios. Imagine Rambo First Blood poking a hole in some hides with a sharp rock and then threading sinews through them.

This is intended as a memorial to Stendo_Clip who was the founding author of the Vanilla Firearms Expansion mod - following conversation with, and permission from, family members.
