Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.47.17, 0.50.13\n- github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.47.17\n- github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.47.17\n- github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk (Go): affected from 0.50.0-alpha.0; fixed in 0.50.13\n- github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk (Go): affected from 0.50.0-alpha.0; fixed in 0.50.13\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg/index.md)","id":"GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg/index.md","name":"GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg","record":{"aliases":["GO-2025-3516"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cosmos SDK library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Malicious proposals in the x/group module can trigger errors in the EndBlocker, causing a chain halt for validators and full nodes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"Name: ISA-2025-002: x/group can halt when erroring in EndBlocker\nComponent: CosmosSDK\nCriticality: High (Considerable Impact; Likely Likelihood per [ACMv1.2](https://github.com/interchainio/security/blob/main/resources/CLASSIFICATION_MATRIX.md))\nAffected versions: \u003c= v0.47.16, \u003c= 0.50.12\nAffected users: Validators, Full nodes, Users on chains that utilize the groups module\nCosmos SDK chains in unpatched releases that use the `x/group` module are affected.\n\n### Description\n\nAn issue was discovered in the groups module where malicious proposals would result in an errors triggered in the module's end blocker that could result in a chain halt.  Any set of users that can interact with the groups module could introduce this state.\n\n### Patches\n_Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_\n\nThe new Cosmos SDK release [v0.50.13](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.50.13) and [v0.47.17](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.47.17) fix this issue.\n\n### Testing\n\nTesting we have done to gain more confidence in this release:\n\nIn addition to testing Cosmos SDK we also did the following:\n\n- Ran a patched node in a local `v0.50` testnet with the failing state and did not halt (an unpatched network confirmed to halt)\n- Ran a patched node on Xion Mainnet (uses `x/group`)\n- Ran a patched node on Zetachain Mainnet (uses `x/xgroup`)\n    \n### Workarounds\n_Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_\n\nThere are no known workarounds for this issue. It is advised that chains apply the update.\n\nThis issue was reported to the Cosmos Bug Bounty Program by [wbowling](https://github.com/wbowling) on HackerOne on February 28, 2025.
