Briefings
A vulnerability in native Rust verification allows invalid proofs to pass for Groth16 and Plonk onchain verification in Solidity verifiers, affecting versions 6.0.0 through 6.8.0. The flaw was discovered on October 23, 2026, and impacts the security of proof-of-collaboration systems.
Key points
- The vulnerability affects native Rust verification in versions 6.0.0–6.8.0, allowing invalid proofs to pass for Groth16 and Plonk onchain verification.
- Solidity verifiers were unaffected by this specific flaw, meaning only native Rust-based verification is compromised.
Context
This finding impacts proof-of-collaboration systems by enabling invalid proofs to pass verification, potentially compromising the integrity of onchain Groth16 and Plonk protocols.
Limitations
Evidence covers only native Rust verification; Solidity verifiers were unaffected. The discovery date is October 23, 2026, and the article is a preprint with no further research conducted.
