According to ChainCatcher, the Cardano network recently experienced a temporary chain split due to a 'malformed' delegated transaction. These transactions involve delegating ADA to a staking pool, which, while valid at the protocol level, can lead to code malfunctions affecting network functionality. An event report from Cardano ecosystem organization Intersect revealed that the transaction exploited an old code vulnerability in Cardano's underlying software library, causing nodes to diverge in transaction processing methods, ultimately resulting in the network split. The vulnerability was triggered by Homer J, an ADA staking pool operator, who used AI-generated code to push the transaction and has admitted responsibility for the network split
