An example would be wearing the V Pose - Tommy Hilfiger emote, which can then be used to clip through walls by playing the emote and then rotating the character instantaneously (turning the camera or using shift lock) while in full position. The term exploiting is sometimes used for the use of glitches in the engine or scripts in order to gain an unfair advantage, though the more common term glitching is preferred to distinguish from third-party modification. Some models, particularly free models, may include a backdoor that can be used by exploiters, whether intentional or not. Some games such as Phantom Forces also implemented a votekick system designed to mitigate exploiters. Developers can prevent this by securing their remotes, such as adding checks to the server code. Exploits are also used to abuse vulnerabilities within a place's use of remotes, which could give exploiters more control over the place up to server-sided execution depending on the severity.

Most exploits allow injection of client-sided scripts to be run in a place the user is in.

Exploiting is sometimes known as cheating or hacking. Roblox uses Hyperion to counter exploiting. Use of exploits on Roblox is against the Community Standards and is bannable.

Some exploits are in the form of programs or injectable DLL files. Exploits are also used in griefing, and are also used to steal places or models, including scripts. On Roblox, an exploit (known as a cheat in other games) is a third-party program used to alter the client in order to gain an unfair advantage over others. Not to be confused with the use of glitches to gain an unfair advantage also known as exploiting.
