According to everyone else, I probably downloaded a fake version, so that’s my bad. But basically, what happened was exploiters would basically delete the whole map / delete the humanoids off characters and leave them in a permanent rag-dolled state.
Sounds like they found a way to delete things (insecure remote or some form of FE bypassing exploit maybe?) Typically, server-side access would lead to more than just deleting (like kicking, crashing, replacing the skybox, messing with lighting, etc)
Oh, thanks for the tip. I’ll look into double-checking / securing my remotes. Just in case.
As stated above, before making such far-fetched claims, can you provide solid reasoning? Nonchalantly tarnishing a (well-known) product as being “one of the worst” without any proof or evidence—and in the presence of the creator—breeds toxicity. I’m not saying that making such remarks is bad; criticism is good—when it’s constructive.
I’ve personally modified Adonis for my own use in certain games and projects, and it works wonderfully. In my opinion, I like Adonis more than HD for my uses (not to say HD isn’t good – both are wonderful). I could go on about why I like it over other admin commands, but that’s besides the point.
Additionally, usually suggesting someone to just switch over to a different product only temporarily fixes the issue. Generally, the issue itself reveals a flaw in the user’s configuration of the product, which could very well leak into a different product (i.e. the user might not know how to set up something properly, so learning how to do so would be more beneficial).

I recommend using a well trusted admin system. Like HD admin or Basic Admin.
I have a article about this.

Replicated Adonis have been confirmed to be corrupted.

This is still happening. I added Adonis to my Interview Center for my new cafe game and every time I joined it, it would teleport me to a place called “Loading” then teleport me back to the Interview Center. I have since realized that it was indeed a copy of Adonis made by a person with a similar name to the original creator of Adonis. Please make sure you read who made the model very carefully before implementing it into your game.

We swapped out admin modules for a very simple custom admin script. It misses out on lots of quirky and “fun” commands but it is functional i.e it handles everything that is NESSECARY for an admin system and is not a toy.
We also handle everything on the server - no exceptions. It makes it a little clunkier but it’s just worth having the peace of mind and security. It shouldn’t ever be an issue.

That “Loading…” is a clever tactic to get games views. Nice that you found it. People really enjoy copying the names of popular model owners, then uploading.
Best way to check if it’s the real model, look at the dev’s profile.
Would the dev of a 100k+ downloads model really be wearing bacon hair?
Edit: I didn’t realize this post was 6 months old I’m so sorry, it popped up as unread for me, must have been a error with the dev fourm…

Actually, loading games are quite different.
Loading games are used in serversides to teleport users to a game with HttpService so they can log a game via web hooks if the game doesn’t have HttpService.

Ah yes, no worries. The account you replied to is my old terminated account.
I believe that when Adonis was returning an unexpected error without wrapping the function in pcall, it purposely revealed its module in the server logs, which then backdoors could access the module that returned an error. In the newer updates of Adonis, the developers had patched this security issue with genuine errors showing on server console.
I work for a group of 250K, and this seems to be an issue that puts in danger our stability within moderation, and I think it needs to be fixed. Could anyone tell me if there’s an Adonis Discord support server? I have been trying to find it to get more information about it, but I didn’t found anything.
Thanks in advance.
You can find the invite in social links of the group Epix Incorporated, owned by @Davey_Bones
On a second note, I would like to re-iterate what Scel said earlier last year, be aware of malicious copies of the Adonis loader, these are not official and are uploaded by malicious users.
The official Adonis Loader can be found here;
Third, as of last year malicious plugins have started looking for popular admin system loaders in a game, like Adonis, and replacing the ModuleId in the loader with a hijacked one.
The official MainModule for Adonis (ID 2373501710) can be found here;

This. I’m a bit late but just saw this in the recommended posts or whatever.
I wanted to add that Adonis also has an active GitHub where you can participate and view the code and all that. Nothing is hidden, even modules I load remotely are open to view (and are also included in GitHub releases.) Everything that is changed can be seen on the GitHub the moment it happens, and people actively review the source and specifically look for stuff like backdoors or whatever else, so I assure you it is, to the best of knowledge and ability, safe to use. Just make sure it’s the version on my Davey_Bones account and not this one since the one on this account is no longer maintained (I just use this to post on the forum cuz my other account can’t still lol.)
If you encounter an infected version it most certainly is not from me, or you have an infected plugin messing with the loader’s source (which has apparently been a thing for a little while now and is not something I can block since it happens in studio.)
Edit: Apparently I already replied to this before lol
Edit 2: This thread is like a year old and somehow still randomly active thonk

Hey, Sceleratis!
Just to let you know Adonis has a ton of vulnerabilities that you’ve not realized for a while.
It’s really better for professional groups to use Basic Admin, build their own admin system, or use CmdR if their worried.
However, Adonis does not have any purposeful virus’s in it. It is 100% safe to use besides these oversights I’ve mentioned.
Edit: I didn’t realize its 1yo old either.
Im not sure there is any virus in the real model for adonis.
ive spoken with Sceleratis on his server and we had a discussion about security of adonis on the client and server.

Where do you get this information from? All you’re saying here is very vauge. Adonis gets an update or update request every few days, and you’re not including any specific details.

Again, why do you think this?

You haven’t mentioned any oversights here, you’ve just given a vauge statement basically saying “adonis bad! unprofessional!”, without giving any evidence or even saying what has been overseen.

I use my own admin scripts, But I have seen people directly target popular admin scripts with backdoor hacks. But I haven’t ever seen Viruses just “showup” I find it odd. Are you sure nothing was changed?
