Audit log

Every state-changing event for Asymmetric Research: moderation decisions on community submissions, plus corrections and updates from the news pipeline. URL-based decisions are designed to carry three independent witnesses — the original source, an Internet Archive snapshot, and a Solana memo signed by our publicly-disclosed publisher key. Archive coverage is still being backfilled, so each decision below reports its own snapshot status rather than assuming one exists.

Key verified disclosures include:\n\n- Cosmos IBC Reentrancy Infinite Mint (April 2024, Critical): A reentrancy vulnerability during IBC timeout message handling that could have allowed an attacker to mint an unlimited quantity of IBC tokens on affected Cosmos chains. The flaw put at least $126 million at risk according to reporting by CoinTelegraph and CoinDesk. Asymmetric Research disclosed the issue through Cosmos HackerOne's bug bounty program. No funds were lost and no exploit occurred.\n\n- Polygon Heimdall Log Confusion (February 2024, High): A log confusion vulnerability allowing Heimdall to parse specially crafted events as critical consensus events, potentially enabling a takeover of the network's consensus layer.\n\n- Circle / Noble CCTP Mint Bug (August 2024, Critical): A flaw in Noble-CCTP's ReceiveMessage handler that accepted BurnMessages from unverified senders, enabling potential counterfeit USDC minting. The effective impact was capped by Noble's mint limit of approximately 35 million USDC. Disclosed privately to Circle via bug bounty; no user funds lost.\n\n- Evmos Distribution Precompile DoS (June 2024, High) and Evmos Precompile State Commit Infinite Mint (August 2024, Critical): Two separate vulnerabilities in the Evmos chain's precompile execution layer.\n\n- Ethereum Ghost in the Block (September 2024, Medium): Nuances in SSZ deserialization between Prysm and Lighthouse consensus clients with potential consensus integrity implications.\n\n- Helix MEV Relay Proposer Equivocation (December 2024, High): Lack of validation on proposer commitments to blob data enabling unbundling attacks.\n\n- Marginfi Flash Loan Vulnerability (September 2025, Critical): A new instruction in the Marginfi lending protocol broke flash loan repayment verification logic, putting more than $160 million in user deposits at risk. Discovered by Felix Wilhelm via Marginfi's bug bounty program. Patched before any exploit.\n\n- Solana ZK ElGamal Proof / Token-2022 (April–May 2025): Asymmetric Research reviewed and provided incident support for the patch addressing a critical flaw in the ZK ElGamal Proof program's Fiat-Shamir Transformation implementation, alongside Neodyme and OtterSec. The original report was made by a researcher known as LonelySloth. No funds were lost.\n\n- Across Protocol Event Spoofing (April 2026): A vulnerability in Across Protocol where an attacker could spoof deposit events and deceive relayers into filling unfunded orders.\n\n- Solana p-token Bug Before Mainnet (April 2026): Felix Wilhelm disclosed a critical vulnerability caught during optimization work before the feature reached mainnet deployment.\n\nThe firm also disclosed vulnerabilities in CometBFT's BLS12-381 key validation and signature generation in September 2024.\n\nAll public disclosures on record were made through responsible disclosure channels (bug bounty programs or direct coordination), and no known instances of exploits occurring against patched code have been found in available sources.","heading":"Notable Security Disclosures","severity":"low","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"GitHub: Asymmetric Research Security Advisories","type":"official","url":"https://github.com/asymmetric-research/security-advisories"},{"credibility":1,"name":"CoinDesk: Patched Cosmos Bug Could've Put $150M At Risk","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2024/04/23/patched-cosmos-bug-couldve-put-150m-at-risk-says-firm-that-reported-it"},{"credibility":1,"name":"CoinTelegraph: Cosmos patches critical IBC protocol bug, saving $126M","type":"news_article","url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/cosmos-patches-bug-ibc-protocol-saves-126m"},{"credibility":1,"name":"CoinTelegraph: Critical bug identified and remedied in Circle's Noble-CCTP","type":"news_article","url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/critical-bug-identified-remedied-circle-noble-cctp"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Blockworks: Asymmetric Research discloses Marginfi flash loan bug that risked $160M","type":"news_article","url":"https://blockworks.co/news/marginfi-flash-loan-bug"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Solana Foundation: Post Mortem — ZK ElGamal Proof Program Bug (May 2, 2025)","type":"official","url":"https://solana.com/news/post-mortem-may-2-2025"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Asymmetric Research blog: Threat Contained — marginfi Flash Loan Vulnerability","type":"official","url":"https://blog.asymmetric.re/threat-contained-marginfi-flash-loan-vulnerability/"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Asymmetric Research blog: Cosmos IBC Reentrancy Infinite Mint","type":"official","url":"https://blog.asymmetric.re/cosmos-ibc-reentrancy-infinite-mint/"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Asymmetric Research blog: Circle's CCTP Noble Mint Bug","type":"official","url":"https://blog.asymmetric.re/circles-cctp-noble-mint-bug/"}]},{"content":"Asymmetric Research operates primarily through embedded, long-term security partnerships rather than one-off audit engagements.

Asymmetric Research, Neodyme, and OtterSec conducted patch reviews as part of the coordinated response.\n\nThe private coordination of the patch drew criticism from some in the crypto community who argued it raised concerns about centralization and validator collusion within the Solana network. Critics focused on the closed-door process rather than any conduct attributed to Asymmetric Research specifically.

   The page's factual claims are, with minor exceptions, strongly corroborated by primary sources (the firm's own GitHub advisories and blog, Solana Foundation's official post-mortem, Stacks and Wormhole Foundation announcements) and independent Tier 1/2 press (CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, Blockworks). All checked vulnerability disclosure dates, dollar figures, and outcomes (no funds lost) matched cited sources exactly. Two minor issues were found: one timeline citation links to an unrelated blog post rather than the correct source, and one bio claim (Jeff Schroeder lacking a public biography) understates that he does have an official team page and Crunchbase profile, albeit a thin one. No disputed or stale claims were identified, and no regulatory or fraud history was found independently, consistent with the page's own conclusion.

   The reviewer confirmed 31 of 35 claims with no disputed claims and a disputed_pct of 5.7%, which on its own would support approval. However, the review surfaced a high-priority coverage gap (coverage_gaps[0]): the page does not mention the December 2025 shared-leadership arrangement between Asymmetric Research and OtterSec, a material governance development involving one of the firm's own co-founders that readers evaluating the entity's structure would reasonably expect to see. Two smaller issues reinforce the need for a light revision rather than a clean pass: claim_findings[11] found the page understates Jeff Schroeder's public profile (he has an official team page and Crunchbase listing, not just a bare name mention), and claim_findings[21] identified a mismatched citation URL on the Solana p-token timeline entry, though the underlying fact it supports is independently confirmed elsewhere.
