"Malware" in older assets in toolbox

An item from the toolbox contained some obvious “malware” (used loosely since this is contained to Roblox) to maliciously get users to inject other assets that potentially hijack games.

  • Obvious Messaging “Model corruption Error”
  • Tells users to run arbitrary code to fix the issue which really releases a backdoor module.
  • Looks like its from Roblox
  • Provides a Server Error Code that some devs would fall for.

Obviously my dev and I did not fall for this which is why I am here reporting the issue now

For security purposes I will not be providing public screenshots or the infected asset, those are transmitted privately. Did not think this was enough for a security report though, so just using regular channel.

A private message is associated with this bug report

We’ve removed the offending assets from the user. Thank you for flagging! Like I mentioned in the private thread, we hope our holistic solutions of publishing requirements for Store and sandboxing prevent more of these from appearing in the future.
