Gate News message, April 21 — Security researcher Doyeon Park disclosed a critical 0-day vulnerability (CVSS 7.1) in CometBFT, the consensus layer of Cosmos, according to a post on X. The flaw could cause network nodes to stall during block synchronization, disrupting system operations, but cannot directly result in asset theft.
Park stated he attempted to follow coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) procedures; however, due to the project’s lack of cooperation and “irresponsible decisions,” he chose to publicly release vulnerability details. Park emphasized that any resulting security risks will be the responsibility of the affected projects.

Sui DeFi lending protocol Scallop is hacked, with a vulnerability in the old contract leading to 150k SUI stolen
Scallop was attacked on the Sui chain, and the side contract involved led to the sSUI rewards pool being exploited. Approximately 150k SUI were stolen. The core contract is secure, and deposits and withdrawals have been restored. The official statement applies only to the deprecated rewards contract; users’ funds were not affected. Former NEAR developer Vadim said the vulnerability originated from an outdated V2 package from 17 months ago, where not initializing last_index caused rewards to accumulate starting in 2023. The fix requires adding a version field to the shared object and strengthening version checks to prevent risks caused by outdated packages.

Litecoin Sees First Privacy Layer Hack: MWEB Zero-Day Vulnerability Triggered 13-Block Reorganization
According to The Block, the Litecoin Foundation confirmed that the MWEB privacy layer suffered a zero-day vulnerability. The attacker used older nodes to make forged MWEB transactions appear valid, causing a rollback of 13 blocks on the main chain (about 3 hours), and performing double-spends against cross-chain exchanges; NEAR Intents exposed about $600k, and the mining pool was also hit with a DoS. A patched version has been released—please upgrade immediately. Main-chain balances are not affected, but it highlights the trade-off between reducing observability and increasing detection difficulty for the privacy layer.
