Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact This vulnerability affects the [`ibc-go` package for those running full nodes, dubbed "Huckleberry"](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/ibc-security-advisory-huckleberry/10731). According to their advisory: > This issue is low-severity in general, and it has a low impact and likelihood of exploitation. Depending on how a full node is architected, this issue could potentially yield a high or critical severity vulnerability. There is no vulnerability in the DID/resource modules for cheqd-node. ### Patches Node operators are requested to upgrade to [cheqd-node v1.4.2](https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node/releases/tag/v1.4.2). This is a non-state breaking release, and does not require a coordinated upgrade across all node operators. ### Workarounds No. Node operators are recommended to upgrade to the latest release version. ### References - ["Huckleberry" IBC security advisory](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/ibc-security-advisory-huckleberry/10731) - [`ibc-go` v6.1.1 release notes](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/releases/tag/v6.1.1)
