Description
Background
When attempting to use the v0.2.14 release, @pandadefi discovered an issue using the @nonreentrant decorator.
Impact
Reentrancy protection storage slots get allocated to the same slots as storage variables, leading to the corruption of storage variables when using the @nonreentrant decorator.
Patches
This issue was fixed in v0.2.15 in #2391, #2379
Workarounds
Don't use the @nonreentrant decorator in these versions.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for vyper, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update vyper to 0.2.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7f92-rr6w-cq64 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
