Blockchain security HalbornSecurity says a now-patched vulnerability it found last year on the open-source codebase on dogecoin is present in at least 280 other networks. By shauryamalwa.
During an assessment in 2022, the researchers found several critical vulnerabilities that could have been exploited by attackers to compromise the network. At the time, Dogecoin developers addressed and resolved the vulnerabilities.
"Due to codebase differences between the networks not all the vulnerabilities are exploitable on all the networks, but at least one of them may be exploitable on each network," Halborn CEO Rob Behnke said."On vulnerable networks, a successful exploitation of the relevant vulnerability could lead to denial of service or remote code execution."
An attacker can send malicious consensus messages to individual nodes in the network, causing them to shut down and leaving the entire network vulnerable to 51% attacks or other severe issues.
