Slow Mist Cosine: The CVE number is the most well-known vulnerability proof in the security industry. Maybe those involved in the Bitcoin ecosystem will value this.

On December 10th, SlowMist founder Yu Xian posted on social media that "Inscription" has been assigned the identifier CVE-2023-50428 for using a vulnerability in the Bitcoin Core client. He stated that this issue with Inscription has been assigned a CVE number, which is a decisive qualification of the vulnerability.

CVE numbers are not something new, many security teams/individuals can apply for them, but Bitcoin ecosystem-related roles may value them more, after all, CVE numbers are one of the most well-known vulnerability proofs in the security industry.

  • EIP for EVM Native Bundles

    Today, all sequencing logic for a mainnet block is controlled by the single winner of the JIT PBS block auction. This is problematic as sequencing, the choice of who gets to alter what piece of state in what order, influences value flow. The goal of this EIP is to give transactions and smart contracts more control over how they are sequenced through explicit delegation of local sequencing rights.

  • Curve founder CRV's loan position liquidation was triggered by the UwU Lend security incident

    Michael Egorov, the founder of Curve, stated through a representative on Telegram on Friday that a vulnerability in UwU Lend caused a series of events that led to Curve's massive liquidation on Thursday. Egorov used Curve's CRV token as collateral to obtain a $100 million loan from various protocols, which began automatic liquidation on Thursday, causing the token to drop 30%, then briefly recover.Egorov said, "On April 15, UwU Lend deployed vulnerable code for the sUSDe market, which is not isolated, so the entire platform bears the risk. UwU was hacked, and as part of the cash-out operation, the hacker deposited the stolen CRV from UwU into lending.curve.fi (Llama Lend), then disappeared with the funds, leaving the debt in the system."Egorov estimates that the bad debt in the specific CRV lending pool is $10 million (already repaid 93%). Although this market is completely isolated from other lending pools, as long as the bad debt exists, CRV depositors cannot withdraw their funds. However, Egorov said that this situation may help strengthen Curve's security measures and lending mechanisms, and may provide better services to users in the coming months.
