Recommendation: Plan a near-term fix — a public PoC already exists.

Project64 2.3.2 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Plugin Directory settings field that allows local attackers to crash the application by supplying an excessively long string. Attackers can input a 6000-byte payload into the Plugin Directory field through the Options > Settings > Directories interface to trigger an application crash when settings are reopened.
