Experts noted that since March 2022, during the course of their work under the contract, they discovered several loopholes in Dogecoin. The developers corrected all errors in a timely manner.
However, Halborn’s experts did not release details for security reasons.
They noted that similar vulnerabilities affected more than 280 networks with a combined market capitalization of $25 billion, including Litecoin and ZCash.
The worst bugs have to do with the “zero-day” option. Exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can remotely execute code or perform a DoS attack on a miner node.
4/ Another zero-day vulnerability discovered by Halborn uniquely related to #Dogecoin, including an RPC vulnerability affecting individual miners.
Subsequently, these zero-day variants were also found in similar blockchain networks, potentially leading to DoS or RCE attacks.
