Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Yesterday at 02:04 PM
Callum MacGregor Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 Hello I think commerce fraud rules are broken. I had a transaction that came back with a 99% risk score from maxmind, but was approved anyway, despite the second rule in my anti-fraud rule set being to refuse any transaction with a score greater than 55%.
Marc Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 Is that user a reseller? I ask as they are processed in order. If they are, it will be approved
Callum MacGregor Posted November 30, 2023 Author Posted November 30, 2023 No, the user is not a reseller.
Marc Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 Please provide information on the user there so we can take a look for you. Just the user ID will do
Solution Callum MacGregor Posted November 30, 2023 Author Solution Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) User ID: 105995 The user is banned now, for obvious reasons, but wasn't at the time. EDIT: I actually think I might know why. Maybe Maxmind changed their API results format, because in the code within Rule.php, the expected syntax is 'riskScore'. But in the maxmind API response, its 'risk_score'. Rule.php: /* Score */ if ( $this->maxmind ) { if ( !$this->_checkCondition( $maxMind->riskScore !== NULL ? $maxMind->riskScore : round( $maxMind->score * 10 ), $this->maxmind, $this->maxmind_unit ) ) { return FALSE; } } Maxmind API response for this particular transaction (redacted): risk_score : 99 Edited November 30, 2023 by Callum MacGregor SeNioR- 1
Marc Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 I have reported this as a bug, as you do appear to be on a later version than when the updates were done for their API. However please do ensure you update to the latest release when you can, to ensure you have the latest bug fixes
Callum MacGregor Posted November 30, 2023 Author Posted November 30, 2023 Thanks for reporting it as a bug. I'll await the fix as it does appear to still be an issue even in the latest update. Marc 1
Callum MacGregor Posted October 1 Author Posted October 1 (edited) So its nearly a full year since I reported this and it still hasn't been fixed @Marc. V5 hasn't even been released yet and V4 has already been forgotten about? Edited October 1 by Callum MacGregor Afrodude and SeNioR- 2
Marc Posted October 1 Posted October 1 I can chase this up, however 1 hour ago, Callum MacGregor said: V5 hasn't even been released yet and V4 has already been forgotten about? It would be worth looking at just how many bugs have been fixed within that year you mention. While I completely understand you chasing the bug in question given the length of time, I feel that saying we have forgotten about v4 in that time is a little unfair. Since the date this bug was added, there has been 4.7.15, 4.7.16, 4.7.17, 4.7.18, and we are currently working on 4.7.19. For context, you have looked at one bug here and decided 4 has been dismissed, but discounted all of this (and this is in addition to 15 alphas!): Quote Core Added the embed.php controller to the robots.txt file and added a noindex tag so that search engines don't index the content.

Callum MacGregor Posted October 1 Author Posted October 1 I mean I am glad to see your list of updates....but how are you prioritising bugs? Its a one line fix, I even told you the file to change, and its something that has a direct financial impact on anybody using maxmind in two ways: Anybody paying for maxmind for the last year has been completely wasting their money as the Invision integration is broken Anybody relying on maxmind for fraud prevention will almost certainly have seen an uptick in fraudulent payments, which almost certainly ends up in a chargeback and a fee incurred. To the end user, everything works as expected, maxmind gives no errors and looks like its working as intended, but its only when you dig into it you see the fraud score isn't being used at all. Are you going to be reimbursing customers for this financial loss, considering you have been aware of the bug for a year and have done nothing about it? Maxmind is a core component of Invision, not a third-party addon, and it is STILL BROKEN after almost a year. Afrodude and Joel R 2
Marc Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Software can occasionally have bugs—this is an inherent part of development. There was no dispute that the bug has been present for some time and needs attention. I completely agree, and I have followed up on it for you. In fact, we are hoping that it will be resolved in the next release. However you asked if v4 has been forgotten about, given we are working on v5. This is clearly not the case. Bugs are prioritized based on several factors, including the upcoming release, available resources, the impact on the software, the number of users affected, and more. Unfortunately, there’s no straightforward answer I can give, as it really depends on situation at the time, and the bugs themselves. With regard financial loss. The software is provided "as-is", as per your end user agreement. We has logged a bug report, as per above, and you have also acknowledged there is a bug within that particular area that is causing you issues. Until we state this is rectified, this would still be the case.

Marc Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Just now, Callum MacGregor said: Does it require a lot of resources to change one line of code? Again, I agree this has perhaps taken longer than it should have to fix, and I have chased this up for you, as per a few messages above there. I'm honestly not sure what else you would like to achieve from this, other than acknowledgement that it has taken a while (is has) and action taken to resolve the issue (we have). If there is something more you would like me to assist you with, please let me know.
Callum MacGregor Posted October 1 Author Posted October 1 No, I guess you can consider this issue dealt with. I'll check back in another year to see if it has been fixed. Afrodude, Steven W. and G17 Media 3
