Developers Discover Potential Vulnerabilities in Cosmos-Based Ethermint

Developers at Jump Crypto discovered a potential vulnerability in Cosmos-based Ethermint that could lead to eight-figure asset losses, CoinDesk reported. Ethermint supports the use of Ethereum smart contracts in the Cosmo ecosystem, and the vulnerability could have allowed an attacker to bypass specific contracts called handlers, resulting in theft of transaction fees and denial of service to users. After receiving the report, the Evmos core development team and the Cronos team immediately worked with Jump Crypto to resolve the issue.
