Improper Input Validation

mppx is vulnerable to improper input validation. The vulnerability is due to improper validation in the cooperative close handler, where the close voucher amount was checked using “” instead of “=” against the on-chain settled amount, which allows an attacker to submit a close voucher equal to th...

From Specification to Deployment: Empirical Evidence from a W3C VC + DID Trust Infrastructure for Autonomous Agents

Autonomous AI agents now transact at production scale -- 69,000 bots executing 165 million transactions across 50 million USDC in cumulative volume on a single marketplace -- without any shared trust layer between participants. Regulatory frameworks Singapore IMDA, NIST CAISI, EU AI Act and major...

Phishing Detection in Ethereum Via Temporal Graph Contrastive Learning

Blockchain and decentralized finance have revolutionized the financial ecosystem while simultaneously exposing it to cryptocurrency phishing attacks. Existing phishing detection methods primarily rely on graph learning, but they face significant limitations. Static graph learning approaches fail ...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions UltraDAG version 0.1 Description A non-council attacker can submit a signed 'SmartOp::Vote' transaction that successfully passes signature, nonce, and balance prechecks. However, the authorization check fails only after state mutation has...

CVE-2026-34209 mppx: Tempo has a session close voucher bypass vulnerability due to settled amount equality

mppx is a TypeScript interface for machine payments protocol. Prior to version 0.4.11, the tempo/session cooperative close handler validated the close voucher amount using "" instead of "=" against the on-chain settled amount. An attacker could submit a close voucher exactly equal to the settled...

LROO Rug Pull Detector: A Leakage-Resistant Framework Based on On-Chain and OSINT Signals

Smart contract-based ecosystems enable decentralized applications without trusted intermediaries, but their immutability and permissionless design also facilitate large-scale fraud. One of the most prevalent attacks is the rug pull, where project operators abruptly withdraw liquidity after...

From Transactions to Exploits: Automated PoC Synthesis for Real-World DeFi Attacks

Blockchain systems are increasingly targeted by on-chain attacks that exploit contract vulnerabilities to extract value rapidly and stealthily, making systematic analysis and reproduction highly challenging. In practice, reproducing such attacks requires manually crafting proofs-of-concept PoCs, ...

LastPass 2022 Breach Led to Years-Long Cryptocurrency Thefts, TRM Labs Finds

Measuring CEX-DEX Extracted Value and Searcher Profitability: the Darkest of the MEV Dark Forest

This paper provides a comprehensive empirical analysis of the economics and dynamics behind arbitrages between centralized and decentralized exchanges CEX-DEX on Ethereum. We refine heuristics to identify arbitrage transactions from on-chain data and introduce a robust empirical framework to...

AI Agent Smart Contract Exploit Generation

We present A1, an agentic execution driven system that transforms any LLM into an end-to-end exploit generator. A1 has no hand-crafted heuristics and provides the agent with six domain-specific tools that enable autonomous vulnerability discovery. The agent can flexibly leverage these tools to...
