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, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  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

    Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.
