Description
This was an error found by @metamania01 of the Audit Company Solshield.
It allowed one to verify a creator that did not sign by making use of a provision in Token Metadata that allows Creators who have signed compressed nfts to allow them to decompress with verified creators.
The issue is now patched. For more info see. https://twitter.com/thehasheddude/status/1601642138143375360

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for mpl-bubblegum. 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.
Fix
Update mpl-bubblegum to 0.6.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8r76-fr72-j32w 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-8r76-fr72-j32w 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-8r76-fr72-j32w. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
