Iron Fish discovers underlying inflation vulnerability, announces termination of remaining network support.
Privacy blockchain Iron Fish confirmed that recent anomalous activity involving wIRON and the ChainPort cross-chain bridge originated from an inflation vulnerability within its own blockchain, rather than an issue with the cross-chain bridge itself. The vulnerability traces back to the 2019 Merkle tree implementation, which could allow the same privacy note to be double-spent. The team has submitted a patch and plans to close and archive the code repository.
