Meccha Chameleon players have been warned about a potential security risk involving custom maps distributed through the game’s Steam Workshop. A community researcher reportedly found suspicious files inside user-created content that could run commands on a player’s PC during installation.

The issue was linked to a map titled Laser Tag Neon, which has since been removed from the Workshop. Another upload called Chroma Grid Arena was also identified as potentially unsafe, prompting players to review their subscribed content and recent downloads.

The game’s developer stated that the main Meccha Chameleon installation remains safe and that the reported threat is connected to third-party Workshop content rather than the official game files.

Players who downloaded either map are advised to run a trusted security scan and inspect recently created files, startup applications, and scheduled tasks for unfamiliar entries. Anyone who notices suspicious activity should avoid opening unknown files and consider seeking professional technical assistance.

To reduce future risk, players should be cautious with newly uploaded Workshop content, review uploader history, read recent community feedback, and avoid maps with little activity or no established reputation.
