Closed Pornographic griefing in the wild

If I'm reading this right, there's a mod that allows image assets to be shared to other clients that can be posted in game as art objects?

 

Hey, can you send me a PM with the screenshots?

 

I can. I'll warn you... there is goatse in it. If you don't know what that is... well it's a dirty pornographic black hole of doom.

 

That's ok, I've seen plenty of things worse than goatse.

 

We only run an anti-meteor-block-damage mod that I made myself and no wrapper.

 

I may have identified a loophole, I've sent a private message

 

I don't have those answers, but I'll pass it on to our players. They might be able to answer those questions. If not, at least we'll all be aware to try these things next time.

 

Sadly, I was not there when it happened. I've had dozens of reports from players on the server that were. I'll give Molly a link to the main thread about this on our forums and you can get that from her if needed. There might be a few shreds of useful information in there.

 

Nice start. q:

But yes, thank you for looking into this. I'm sure we'll all be delighted once this is patched...

 

Oh, then those prints i already saw were not a joke! We have never noticed on our servers, but i heard of it, as Tiy said though it was one absurd report with players and server hosting such images but as more people report it, it seems it goes beyond that.

 

Yeah I don't blame Tiy for denying this at first. If hadn't had a bunch of players explode in rage, panic, and grim hilarity, I wouldn't have believed it either. There really are people out there with nothing better to do than find an exploit to try and ruin someone's day.

 

Difficult to investigate or repro without detail!

 

The collection of idiots screaming "THE PORN IS IN THE GAME ASSETS THE DEVS ARE DOWNLOADING PORN TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111" was utter absolute nonsense, to put it nicely. Gotta love obvious trolls being obvious. I'll be curious to see what the vulnerability actually was after it's patched.

 

Well, yeah, as I said, things have become kind of tangled. I imagine that whoever researched it found only what Tiy just said himself:

And we can verify that our server is vanilla aside from the mod mentioned in this post.

Therefore, yeah, we began to worry that someone had slipped such awful material into a Starbound update as some sort of twisted joke. It's not like we were saying that all of Chucklefish was involved in it, good god. But it's being resolved, you can stop coming in specifically to yell that we're wrong and bad.
