Blockchain Security Firm Spots Vulnerability and Averts Potential $1.9 Billion Loss for ZkSync Era

The bug allowed for the manipulation of transactions within a block, potentially leading to layer-1 smart contracts accepting manipulated transaction values. However, exploiting the bug would have required the highest level of security privileges across zkSync Era’s infrastructure.
