How to Fix GHSA-rjr4-v43m-pxq6

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

triton-vm fixed: 2.0.0 
Upgrade triton-vm to 2.0.0
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 triton-vm

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-rjr4-v43m-pxq6, inspect your project dependencies for Triton vm:

inspect dependencies for triton-vm

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-330: Use of Insufficiently Random Values, where the product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers. In Triton vm, 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

In affected versions of Triton VM, the verifier failed to correctly sample randomness in the FRI sub-protocol. Malicious provers can exploit this to craft proofs for arbitrary statements that this verifier accepts as valid, undermining soundness. Protocols that rely on proofs and the supplied verifier of the affected versions of Triton VM are completely broken. Protocols implementing their own verifier might be unaffected. The flaw was corrected in commit 3a045d63, where the relevant randomness is sampled correctly.
