Minetest is a free open-source voxel game engine with easy modding and game creation. In single player, a mod can set a global setting that controls the Lua script loaded to display the main menu. The script is then loaded as soon as the game session is exited. The Lua environment the menu runs in is not sandboxed and can directly interfere with the users system. There are currently no known workarounds.

Weakness

The product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product.
