How To Keep Your Server Economy Safe From A FloAuction Exploit [READ]

[Today]

The exploit goes as the following

• A user joins a server with FloAuction
• The user starts a silent auction "/sauc start 1 1 100 25"
• The users has an alt account join
• The alt bids 1$
• The alt then bids 999999999$(The Alt Does Not Have This Much)
• The alt is denied with a message saying he does not have a sufficient balance
• The alt re-executes the command one more time
• Success

People are freaking out over this though the fix is easy as can be.
In the FloAuctions configuration please deny "sealed-auctions".

Thanks, and keep your servers safe.

Many servers still have this flaw and I can always just ruin the economy in around 5 minutes if staff dont catch onto what im doing.

This is fixed on any major server xD Also this is widely known...

FloAuction has moved to Spigot now and is being actively updated. This has been solved there.

This is for lower populated and newer server owners.. I know this is fixed on all major servers, not everyone owns a major server. And its not fixed because Im still able to do it.

No problem, these guys assume that everyone knows about this just because major servers have it patched.

lmfao I know servers with player averages of 2 that fixed this, it has been posted EVERYWHERE. Spigot, MCM, Other forum sites. If you don't have it fixed by now it is because you don't open a internet tab ever.
