Gamepasses are now spoofable via regional pricing

[polipiolypus (poli)]

When users sell their own game passes in our experience Clip It they can use regional pricing to completely bypass all of our exploit checks. This allows for malicious users to completely bypass any checks against pricing changes for donation systems.

We check against https://apis.roblox.com/game-passes/v1/game-passes/{asset-id}/product-info to confirm users have not updated or changed the pricing of a game pass when it is purchased.

The current workaround is using https://apis.roblox.com/game-passes/v1/game-passes/{asset-id}/details and checking if it has a ‘RegionalPricing’ flag in the ‘enabledFeatures’ array, and ignoring gamepasses that have this attribute.

Expected behavior

Roblox APIs should return the accurate value, or allow for developers to predictably determine what users actually pay for game passes.

New Vulnerability Affecting Donation Games

Due to the newest regional pricing update, players are now able to purchase gamepasses at a lower price than what is stated. The game thinks the player purchased at the highest price, and therefore creates inaccurate stats. Expected behavior Some sort of metadata stating if the gamepass that was purchased was using regional pricing at the time of purchase. Or even better, a receipt callback for gamepasses stating how much the player paid for the pass, just like for dev products. A private mes…

Critical Exploit via Regional Pricing Allows Gamepasses Product Abuse

A recently discovered exploit allows users to bypass intended gamepass and avatar item pricing within experiences by leveraging regional pricing differences. This is combined with test accounts added through the user’s own experience, where the passes are hosted. The exploit manipulates the perceived transaction amount, creating major discrepancies between what developers expect a user to pay and what is actually paid. [image] This bug severely impacts developers who rely on item sales for mon…

Not sure why this is the one being addressed. I kindly request you go through older bug reports that may have been filed overnight rather than just picking the ones you see at the top of the category to forward to engineers.
