Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service: Unbounded resource usage during WebAssembly smart contract execution, recursive calls, and module compilation allowed CPU/memory exhaustion. Mitigation requires strict gas tracking, VM recursion limits, and compilation cost billing.
Auth Bypass: Bypasses or insufficient checks in privileged execution contexts could allow unauthorized coin transfers or roll purchases, skipping vesting limits or writing to unauthorized states.
Denial of Service: Unvalidated parameters, past vesting schedules, and invalid UTF-8 bytes in async messages caused the node to panic or enter infinite loops during blocks execution.
