🚨Solana exposes zero-day vulnerability, can it mint infinitely?! Officially silent fix ⚠️
The Solana Foundation urgently patched a highly dangerous zero-day vulnerability involving the confidential transfer system ZK ElGamal. If exploited, attackers could mint infinitely or steal funds, posing a risk comparable to a chain-level nuclear explosion 💣!
📅 The vulnerability was discovered on April 16, and the official team quickly coordinated validator deployments for the fix within 48 hours, choosing to operate 'behind closed doors' until the patch was implemented to ensure the system was not exploited. Currently, all user funds are safe with no known attack activities.
🤔 Worth noting:
Although this feature has been live since 2023, adoption rates are extremely low.
Paxos has been accused of using this feature but has denied it.
The identity of the whistleblower remains a mystery, and the bug bounty has not been disclosed.
🧠 My opinion:
✅ Advantages: Fast response, safety prioritized, no incidents occurred
⚠️ Concerns: Although the closed repair method is reasonable, it challenges the trust baseline of 'decentralization'
