The bug which only impacts Token-22 coins would have allowed an attacker to mint unlimited coins and withdraw tokens from any account.
Crypto stakeholders debate Solana stealth approach to fixing the bug.
The Solana Foundation has announced the fixing of a potential vulnerability on the network that could have allowed for unlimited minting and withdrawal of Token-2022 coins on the network. The foundation confirmed today that it fixed the issue in April.
According to the announcement, Solana software developer Anza first received a report of the vulnerability on April 16 and immediately collaborated with other major developers on the network, Jito and Firedancer, to evaluate the vulnerability report.
Upon confirmation that it was a real problem, the teams worked on a patch to address the issue. The report added that blockchain security firms, such as Ottersec, Asymmetric Research, and Neodyme, also provided support and reviewed the patch before its deployment.
Interestingly, the team discovered a similar bug in another part of the codebase while trying to address the initial issue and had to develop another patch to fix it as well.
