According to BlockBeats, Solana developers, validators, and client teams have collaboratively addressed a critical security vulnerability. The process began on August 7, when the Solana Foundation privately contacted well-known network operators as part of a covert strategy to prevent the exploitation of the vulnerability. The patch was made available through Anza engineers' GitHub repository, allowing operators to independently verify and apply the changes. By 14:00 UTC on August 8, detailed instructions for implementing the patch had been distributed to stakeholders, securing 66.6% of the network's stake. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed only after 70% of the network had applied the patch.
