BlockBeats news, on August 9, according to The Block, Solana developers, validators, and client teams worked together to resolve a serious security vulnerability.
Solana validator Laine said the process began on August 7, when the Solana Foundation contacted well-known network operators through private channels. The contact was part of a strategy to secretly patch the vulnerability, aimed at preventing the vulnerability from being exploited in any way. The patch was provided through the GitHub repository of Anza engineers, enabling operators to independently verify and apply the changes. As of 14:00 UTC on Thursday, August 8, detailed instructions for implementing the patch were distributed to various stakeholders, ultimately securing 66.6% of the network's stake. The vulnerability was not disclosed publicly until 70% of the network had implemented the patch.
