Which packages are affected by GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q?

GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q affects the following packages: github.com/babylonlabs-io/babylon (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q?

Update github.com/babylonlabs-io/babylon to 1.1.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/babylonlabs-io/babylon, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.

Is GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

When was GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-869w-47c6-fq8q was published on May 15, 2025 and was last updated on May 22, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Summary

Minting large amount of tokens through ibc transfer and then depositing them in validator rewards pool (via DepositValidatorRewardsPool message) can lead to integer overflow panic when calculating cumulative_reward_ratio for the validator.

This calculation happens in x/epoching module EndBlocker, thus the panic will halt the chain.

Impact

Denial of Service - Due to panic in the EndBlocker Babylon Genesis will halt
