Do exploit reports go in the Bug reports forum?
Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2018 11:15 pm
Hi everyone,
I recently hopped back into ToME after a few year gap and stumbled into a nasty little exploit (that being a bug that can be abused to give the player benefit never intended by the developer).
Poking around, I wasn't able to find a stickied topic that specified whether exploitable bugs should be reported in the bug report forum, or whether they should be reported a different way. Each developer seems to handle these differently, with some keeping them quiet until patched (or even forever), and others not caring if they become public knowledge.
Would be great to know how to approach this. I attempted to PM darkgod but due to being a new forum account I don't have access to that feature.
Thanks!
