CVE-2021-42764

Estado: ModificadaCrítica (9.1)—

The Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Ethereum consensus protocol through 2021-10-19 allows an adversary to cause a denial of service (delayed consensus decisions), and also increase the profits of individual validators, via short-range reorganizations of the underlying consensus chain.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
