VRCX is a VRChat-focused third-party application for Windows, which provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for interacting with VRChat via the VRChat API.
Potential risks with VRCX
Although VRCX is open source[1], and using it does not violate the Terms of Service, it does disregard the Creator Guidelines, which state, "Do not request log-in information from users in any situation." Despite this, VRChat has not indicated any intention to enforce this guideline against VRCX. However, there are still some risks associated with installing and using VRCX.
- VRCX requires logging in, using your VRChat account, password, and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). VRChat, Inc. advises against giving your credentials to anybody, including using it to log into third-party applications that does not use VRChat's SSO authentication.
- Flooding or spamming the API may risk disconnecting you from VRChat services, and very rarely, risking an account ban.
- Using outdated versions of VRCX may make you vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploits[2].
