Odaily Planet Daily News Interchain Labs has confirmed that an individual who was later identified as being associated with North Korea contributed to the Cosmos code base while employed by the former maintainer between 2022 and 2024. The individual had limited access to the cosmos/IAVL and cosmos/cosmos-sdk code bases, and most of his contribution codes have been abandoned or excluded from the roadmap, and independent audits have not found risk vulnerabilities. To support transparency, ICL will provide a one-month double bounty on the Cosmos HackerOne page for discovering vulnerabilities related to the participant's GitHub account. After ICL took over the development of the core stack, it implemented a new security protocol to prevent further contributions, and the person was rejected for further application. ICL has upgraded the security of all Cosmos core code bases and will abandon the relevant code bases in the future. This incident highlights the need for strict security procedures in Web3 and the broader technology field. (The Block)
