This to me is the big risk here. A worm hidden in a game mod or something.

I can see it staying in the wild for a long time too. How many of the people that are playing on these cards, or crypto mining, or doing LLM work, are really going to even find out about these vulnerabilities and update the drivers?

Game mods are already barely sandboxed to begin with. Unless proven otherwise (ie. by manually inspecting the mod package), you should treat game mods the same as random exes you got off the internet, not harmless apps you install on a whim.
