How to Fix GHSA-29c2-65rj-h343

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Ckb dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

ckb fixed: 0.39.0 
Upgrade ckb to 0.39.0
ckb fixed: 0.35.2 
Upgrade ckb to 0.35.2
ckb fixed: 0.36.1 
Upgrade ckb to 0.36.1
ckb fixed: 0.37.1 
Upgrade ckb to 0.37.1
ckb fixed: 0.38.2 
Upgrade ckb to 0.38.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for ckb

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-29c2-65rj-h343, inspect your project dependencies for Ckb:

inspect dependencies for ckb

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ckb in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.39.0), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Ckb, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact The faulty nodes will reject transactions which calls `load_cell_data` syscall but the input cell is still in the mempool. They also ban other nodes and cause the network separation. ### Patches 0.35.2, 0.36.1, 0.37.1, 0.38.2
