It is a CS2 mod -- CS2 lacks Steam Workshop support. Paradox did not put it in, in favor of their own mod platform.
There was a lot of beef about the lack of workshop support, but it means it was on Paradox's platform, if anything.
Wonder if steam workshop scans for this kind of thing, or if it would have otherwise been found quicker.
This mod had some clever tricks to avoid detection from Antivir scanner. Not sure how deep and complex the Steam Workshop antivir scanner goes (if any). Hard to say if they would have found and prevented it. However, all antivir and other scanner software learned from this and now every malware using this technique could be detected instantly. At least in theory.
Steam has some basic scans, but nothing special. This kind of thing happened before, with mods and even games.
I would assume so. Did this happen in Steam Workshop?
Yes. Apparently there were enough mods like this, that someone made a list to unsubscribe from them:

Also, this time it's the first Cities Skyline, I don't know of any other games, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Heh, madlads :D Modern problems require modern solutions ๐
There were rumours about one for rimworld but I'm not sure if it was real or on steam.
