So there is no authentication on the API endpoint? I have my PS4 connected directly to the Internet to avoid NAT issues, and I wonder whether the API would be available openly as well.

Theorically, knowing your ip, people would be able to connect to your fallout 4.

[praseodym]

Or practically, if they would scan the entire IPv4 space, which doesn't take too long on a decent connection (5min with 10Gbps, https://zmap.io/)

Wonder if any relevant strings have shown up in Shodan searches yet.

Still, I'd imagine most PCs and game consoles are behind a firewall and ports aren't forwarded.

why not telnet to it? <yourip>:28000

Since most people have their console running behind a firewall, this should not be an issue. Unless you expose those ports to the outside world...
