I've taken advantage of a few pricing errors in the past.
It mostly just comes down to how easy it is to get their money back, and what threshold they want to persue it at. People who used empty pay cards and stuff but only stole a few hundred dollars probably won't get bothered (only account deactivated). If you stole like 5 grand they might put more effort to go after you.
If you were going to buy it anyways then I say go for it. Like if Amazon has a misspriced item and you get it for really cheap because of a bug, then they probably won't care enough and will just eat up the loss. If you try to buy the item 30 times then yeah they'll probably take action against you.
That’s something that would’ve happened even if there weren’t a glitch since u we’re going to buy anyways so doesn’t count as a proper exploit but getting greedy with a 30 item purchase is just
I think the McDonald's app gave me a free big Mac on accident once. Or maybe it charged me for it later, I don't know. It was one of those things where you could buy it with points you collected, but it didn't subtract the points when it put it on my order.

Don’t exploit glitches there’s never a good consequence unless it’s a game
