Odaily News A Web3 security researcher has received a $150,000 bounty for reading the Cosmos network documentation and discovering a serious vulnerability that could cause the Evmos blockchain and all decentralized applications (DApps) built on it to stop functioning. In a blog post published on October 28, security researcher “jayjonah.eth” explained the concept of “module accounts” encountered in the Cosmos documentation as follows: “If these addresses (module accounts) receive funds outside of the expected rules of the state machine, invariants may be broken and may cause the network to stop.” Crash testing the Evmos blockchain according to Cosmos documentation The security researcher attempted to send funds to the module accounts in a test environment to test the theory and reported: “At this point, no more blocks are generated and the blockchain has completely stopped. This will destroy the Evmos blockchain and all DApps built on it.” He revealed that the Evmos team had fixed the vulnerability before the information was made public. (Cointelegraph)
