Hey xixFutballxix,
This concern definitely comes up a lot, and the developers briefly addressed it in a recent AMA.
The link above will take you to the full set of questions if you want to read through them, but I've copied a couple relevant answers below as well.
For a quick TL;DR - Yes, we're aware and working on it from a few different angles.
Q: Any news on strikepack/cronus/xim/aim botting/wall hacking on console - a lot of pc players glitching into console - major problem in ranked lobbies especially.

We are aware of the situation with 3rd party devices on consoles and are working on solutions to detect and combat them, though I can't share any timelines at the moment.It is a difficult problem to solve for multiple reasons, but one of the biggest is the ability to accurately detect the devices themselves across the various platforms and devices. Our approach is behavioural detection for the specific macros and functions that give a gameplay advantage.
Q: Are strike packs, Xim or Cronus detectable and punishable? Or is it needed to be allowed due to accessibility issues with custom controller. People born with disabilities for example need it to play effectively.

In some cases the devices themselves are not against the terms of service, however some of the functionality they offer is, such as macros.
Our goal is to detect and combat the specific functions that are used to give an unfair advantage.
