What binary_patch_apply does on 010 Editor

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs binary_patch_apply safely

binary_patch_apply Rate-limited

binary_patch_apply stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
