Gate News: On March 16, white hat hacker f4lc0n disclosed on the X platform that he discovered a critical security vulnerability in the Injective protocol, which could lead to the direct withdrawal of over $500 million in on-chain assets. f4lc0n stated that this vulnerability allows any user to empty any account on the chain without special permissions. After submitting the report through Immunefi, the Injective team initiated a mainnet upgrade vote the next day to fix the issue. However, the project only offered him a $50,000 reward, far below the $500,000 maximum standard for critical vulnerabilities in their bounty program. f4lc0n said that within three months of submitting the report, the Injective team was unresponsive, and the $50,000 reward has not yet been paid. Currently, f4lc0n has challenged the reward amount and announced that he will allocate 10% of future bug bounty income to continue publicizing this matter until Injective pays according to the standard.
