RunString is something people use to inject code.
You might have an addon installed that is trying to inject code and its failing.

This could be a problem for you.

Injected code is how some malicious coders open backdoors to your server.
It could also be DRM or something that an addon uses. It's hard to say.

You would receive this error without ULX/ULib installed. Unfortunately, there are no clues as to what's causing the error. I'd recommend removing all addons and adding them back in one by one to check what's causing it.

As Mr. P. suggested, it may be malicious as well. But once you remove all addons and no longer get that error, you'll know it is likely no longer trying to inject code.

Good thing I read everything that gets posted. I was getting this too and found out it was coming from one of my player models

There is NO reason a player model addon should be injecting code. This is almost certainly malicious.

Either of you, please educate us on which was removed.
This would be very helpful to the rest of the community.
