CVE-2023-42460 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2023-09-27

Technologies: vyper (PyPI). Vendors: PyPI.

Executive brief

Vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the EVM. The `_abi_decode()` function does not validate input when it is nested in an expression. Uses of `_abi_decode()` can be constructed which allow for bounds checking to be bypassed resulting in incorrect results. This issue has not yet been fixed, but a fix is expected in release `0.3.10`. Users are advised to reference pull request #3626.
