Authentication bypass by capture-replay in github.com/cosmos/ethermint

Published Feb 8, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024 · Assigned by mitre

Description

Cosmos Network Ethermint <= v0.4.0 is affected by a cross-chain transaction replay vulnerability in the EVM module. Since ethermint uses the same chainIDEpoch and signature schemes with ethereum for compatibility, a verified signature in ethereum is still valid in ethermint with the same msg content and chainIDEpoch, which enables "cross-chain transaction replay" attack.
