How to Fix GHSA-j2cr-jc39-wpx5

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

github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk fixed: 0.46.13 
Upgrade github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk to 0.46.13
github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk fixed: 0.47.3 
Upgrade github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk to 0.47.3
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 github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-j2cr-jc39-wpx5, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/cosmos/cosmos sdk:

inspect dependencies for github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/cosmos/cosmos sdk in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.46.13), 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 Github.com/cosmos/cosmos sdk, 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 In `PeriodicVestingAccount`, defined in `x/auth`, an attacker can initialize a victim's account as a malicious vesting account, which allows deposits but does not allow withdrawals. When the user then deposits funds into their account, those funds are locked forever, and the user is not able to withdraw them. ### Patches \>= v0.46.13 for Cosmos SDK v0.46.x \>= v0.47.3 for Cosmos SDK v0.47.x If a network backported periodic vesting accounts to earlier versions of the SDK, those networks are affected too. ### Workarounds There is no workaround for this issue. Upgrade immediately. ### References * Patched versions release notes: [v0.47.3](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/cfc757dc5043fb2758c47c146d2912fd010c1a45/RELEASE_NOTES.md#cosmos-sdk-v0473-release-notes), [v0.46.13](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/d4b7164de5d8391e6aa644d8ea84e07396dd9653/RELEASE_NOTES.md#cosmos-sdk-v04613-release-notes). * [Forum Post](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/cosmos-sdk-security-advisory-barberry/10825)
