This issue is occurring more and more, another user reported it as well (unaware to this already being a post), so this needs to be fixed soon. here (might get deleted sicne it’s a duplicate topic)
Does it “patch” this glitch and prevent l>e>t>t>e>r bypass, but also allow users to have 13+ filter and <13 filter?
-
Yes, it prevents bypasses using
<,>, and&, all of which are encoded by richtext as<,>, and&respectively. -
No, but I can easily add that functionality. I may add that if you so choose. Currently it filters text so that it is safe for all users, but I can see how you may want different filtering for 13+ vs <13 users. I’ll work on implementing this, alongside uncensoring messages using the filtered symbols that aren’t being used for bypassing.
It’s been 15 days since I originally reported this issue, and despite multiple bumps and a response from another user experiencing the same problem, Roblox has yet to acknowledge this critical vulnerability. Instead of addressing the issue, moderators have deleted my posts attempting to bring attention to the problem.
This chat filter bypass is a serious issue that allows users to bypass all filtering and potentially expose others to inappropriate content. It’s concerning that Roblox is not taking this issue more seriously, especially considering the potential impact on younger users and the fact that moderators are actively suppressing discussion about it.
