Event Abuse: How Cheaters Exploit TriggerServerEvent

Cheaters can spam or forge server events to duplicate items, bypass systems, or crash servers. Here's how EZAC prevents it.

The Problem

FiveM's event system is powerful but exploitable. Cheaters use executors to:

Spam events — overload server processing

Forge events — trigger admin-only functions

Bypass validation — send crafted payloads that skip client-side checks

EZAC's Protection

Rate limiting — caps events per player per minute (`EventAbuseMaxPerMinute`)

Event blacklisting — blocks known exploit events

Server-side validation — verifies event sources and payloads

Pattern detection — identifies automated event sequences

Configuration

Tune these in your config:

- EventAbuse detection toggle

- EventAbuseMaxPerMinute — default is 60, lower for stricter servers

- EventAbuseWindowSec — time window for rate counting
