In an official blog on March 13, Halborn claims that it found several critical and exploitable vulnerabilities impacting the Dogecoin open-source network last year. The Dogecoin team has since fixed the vulnerabilities reported by Halborn. advertisement However, Halborn identified the same vulnerabilities in more than 280 other networks including Litecoin and Zcash, which have been patched. Halborn has named the “zero-day” vulnerability Rab13s, putting over $25 billion of crypto assets at risk of exploits. Among the “zero-day” security vulnerabilities found, peer-to-peer (p2p) communication is the most critical vulnerability. Attackers can make nodes on blockchain s offline by taking over consensus messages. Another zero-day vulnerability identified impacts individual miners through an RPC vulnerability.
