The Solana team patched a serious security vulnerability this Wednesday

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Solana developers, validators, and client teams have come together to address a serious security vulnerability.

Solana validator Laine stated that the process began on August 7, when the Solana Foundation contacted well-known network operators through private channels. This contact was part of a secret patching strategy aimed at preventing the vulnerability from being exploited in any way. The patch was provided through Anza engineers' GitHub repository, allowing operators to independently verify and apply the changes. As of 14:00 UTC on Thursday, August 8, detailed instructions for implementing the patch had been distributed to stakeholders, ultimately ensuring 66.6% of the network's stake. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed only after 70% of the network had implemented the patch.
