Descriptions

A publish-access account was compromised for `@solana/web3.js`, a JavaScript library that is commonly used by Solana dapps. This allowed an attacker to publish unauthorized and malicious packages that were modified, allowing them to steal private key material and drain funds from dapps, like bots, that handle private keys directly. This issue should not affect non-custodial wallets, as they generally do not expose private keys during transactions. This is not an issue with the Solana protocol itself, but with a specific JavaScript client library and only appears to affect projects that directly handle private keys and that updated within the window of 3:20pm UTC and 8:25pm UTC on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. These two unauthorized versions (1.95.6 and 1.95.7) were caught within hours and have since been unpublished. All Solana app developers should upgrade to version 1.95.8. Developers that suspect they might be compromised should rotate any suspect authority keys, including multisigs, program authorities, server keypairs, and so on.

Una cuenta de acceso de publicación se vio comprometida para `@solana/web3.js`, una librería de JavaScript que se usa comúnmente en las dapps de Solana. Esto permitió a un atacante publicar paquetes no autorizados y maliciosos que fueron modificados, lo que les permitió robar material de claves privadas y drenar fondos de las dapps, como bots, que manejan claves privadas directamente. Este problema no debería afectar a las billeteras sin custodia, ya que generalmente no exponen claves privadas durante las transacciones. Este no es un problema con el protocolo Solana en sí, sino con una librería de cliente de JavaScript específica y solo parece afectar a los proyectos que manejan claves privadas directamente y que se actualizaron dentro de la ventana de las 3:20 p. m. UTC y las 8:25 p. m. UTC del martes 3 de diciembre de 2024. Estas dos versiones no autorizadas (1.95.6 y 1.95.7) fueron detectadas en cuestión de horas y desde entonces se han anulado. Todos los desarrolladores de aplicaciones de Solana deben actualizar a la versión 1.95.8. Los desarrolladores que sospechen que pueden estar comprometidos deben rotar todas las claves de autoridad sospechosas, incluidas las multifirmas, las autoridades del programa, los pares de claves del servidor, etc.
