As we speak, we now have disclosed the second set of vulnerabilities from the Ethereum Basis Bug Bounty Program! 🥳 These vulnerabilities have been beforehand found and reported on to the Ethereum Basis.
When bugs are reported and validated, the Ethereum Basis coordinates disclosures to affected groups and helps cross-check vulnerabilities throughout all shoppers. The Bug Bounty Program at the moment accepts stories for the next consumer software program:
- Erigon
- Go Ethereum
- Lodestar
- Nethermind
- Lighthouse
- Prysm
- Teku
- Besu
- Nimbus
Along with consumer software program, the Bug Bounty Program additionally covers the Deposit Contract, Execution Layer & Consensus Layer Specs and Solidity. 🙏
Repository & vulnerability record
For the reason that final vulnerability disclosure has been fairly eventful with occasions such because the Merge 🐼 and the max bounty reward improve to $250,000. 💰
The best paid reward throughout this era was $50,000. This was awarded to scio for reporting a difficulty through which Lighthouse beacon nodes crashed through malicious BlocksByRange messages containing an excessively giant depend worth.

Thanks 🙏
We wish to give a large shout out to everybody concerned within the discovery and reporting of vulnerabilities, in addition to to the groups chargeable for fixing them.

There are additionally many unsung heroes resembling consumer group builders, group members, and lots of extra who’ve spent numerous hours triaging, cross-checking, and mitigating vulnerabilities earlier than they could possibly be exploited.
Your immense efforts have been instrumental to making sure Ethereum’s safety. Thanks!
