All in Bits: Most of the code for the Cosmos Hub liquidity staking module was written by North Korean developers

Odaily News All in Bits, a software development company in the Cosmos ecosystem, published a post detailing the reasons why the Cosmos Hub Liquidity Staking Module (LSM) has serious security issues, including: Most of the LSM code was written by North Korean developers; LSM is not an independent module, but a set of modifications to the existing staking, allocation, and slashing modules, which may affect all staked ATOMs; Vulnerabilities that allow slashing circumvention still exist; Code changes that have not been audited for 19 months; Major misrepresentations by Zaki Manian and Iqlusion; Lack of transparency in ICF, Stride Labs, and informal systems. All in Bits made the following recommendations: Immediately fix the main staking vulnerability in LSM; Immediate and comprehensive LSM audit; Full disclosure of the investigation schedule involving North Korean developers; ICF related party blacklist; New audit and supervision protocol for ICF-funded projects.
