Description

Summary

Sending transactions with fees different than native Babylon genesis denom (ubbn) leads to chain halt.

Impact

Denial of Service - Due to panic in the x/distribution module BeginBlocker triggered by a error when sending fees from feeCollector to x/distribution module - https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/main/x/distribution/keeper/allocation.go#L28 Babylon Genesis will halt

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/babylonlabs-io/babylon/v2. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/babylonlabs-io/babylon/v2 to 2.2.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-56j4-446m-qrf6 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-56j4-446m-qrf6 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-56j4-446m-qrf6. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.

Is GHSA-56j4-446m-qrf6 in your dependencies?

O3 detects GHSA-56j4-446m-qrf6 across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
