About the Device and Network Abuse policy

Yeah, that's the Unity vulnerability they published last week.

The remediation guide mentions rebuilding with an updated editor or using the patch tool.

I haven't tried the patch tool yet, but I assume it might not properly handle a Flutter app.

So your best bet is to upload a build with a patched editor version like 2021.3.45f2, 2022.3.62f2, 6000.0.58f2 or newer.
