Defence and resistance rolls always succeed on 3 or 4 no matter what the penalty. It's in the FAQ.

Affliction clearly states that if the target number is below 3, success is automatic. Affliction also automatically fails against a target number of 22 or higher.

if you're referencing Powers here, that's 21+ but only for unliving, homogenous, and diffuse targets.

Am I understanding it correctly that if you buy an affliction with malediction that you can make it harder to resist by simply buying a higher level of will which has an identical effect as raising the level of affliction and increasing your mental resistance, am I missing something here? this seems like an exploit.

Yep. That's how it works. Affliction with Malediction is the King.
