NG - Ghost Coauthor Exploit

Posted by Anonymous-Frog - January 18th, 2023


Inspired by Delfy


Here's an exploit that allows you to reply to reviews, even though you hadn't accepted your invite yet.


YOU NEED:

1 FRIEND

1 MOVIE, GAME, OR AUDIO UPLOADED TO NEWGROUNDS

SOME REVIEWS


1- Have a friend upload a movie, game, or audio (Art coming soon) to Newgrounds.


2- Have them add you to their project as a contributor. Their credit status (ie. animator, writer, sponsor, inspiration, etc) doesn't matter.

3- You will get an pending request to join the project. Do not accept or decline the invitaion.

You'll end up in this weird limbo where you are both a member of the project and not a member at the same time.


Under the effects of the exploit:

  • You'll be listed as "Waiting for confirmation" to all other members.
  • The project will NOT show up on your page or the public
  • The project still shows up in Your Projects"
  • You can still reply to reviews, which makes it look like someone not in the project is replying.

For example, I was invited to a spam flash created by @biterrrr. You can see the results.

And to think I had the opportunity to do the same here, with that exact same submission, if only I'd left my invitation in limbo...

Pretty cool. Opportunities like this won't arise that often either - I mean when do you usually not accept that invite in the first place - so it seems there may never be much need for this 'bug' to be fixed either...

How do you even find stuff like this! Impressive.
