Foreign media: Dogecoin has recently been found to have a vulnerability called "Dogereaper" that can affect the node structure

ChainCatcher news, according to News.bitcoin, Dogecoin has recently suffered a vulnerability attack that severely affected its node structure. This vulnerability, known as "Dogereaper," reportedly caused 69% of Dogecoin nodes to crash, executed by Sequentia developer Andreas Kohl using just an old laptop from El Salvador.

Although this attack significantly impacted Dogecoin nodes, the situation could have been worse: ecash developers Tobias Ruck and another developer, Roqqit, have disclosed the vulnerability. Tobias Ruck stated that he first discovered this vulnerability while developing Doged (an alternative to Dogecoin Core) during code testing for porting their alternative software, where he found an unpatched segmentation fault in the original code.

Tobias Ruck explained: "We will not tolerate node crashes; we have put in a lot of effort to ensure network security. This attack could have been much worse, and all key stakeholders, such as miners and exchanges, had patched before the attack occurred, highlighting how important it is for us to act cautiously."
