{"id":"GHSA-33cr-m232-xqch","summary":"cheqd-node affected by Non-deterministic JSON Unmarshalling of IBC Acknowledgement","details":"# Description\n\n[An issue was discovered in IBC-Go's deserialization of acknowledgements](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/security/advisories/GHSA-jg6f-48ff-5xrw) that results in non-deterministic behavior which can halt a chain. Any user that can open an IBC channel can introduce this state to the chain.\n\nThis an upstream dependency used in cheqd-node, rather than a custom module.\n\n## Impact\nCould result in a chain halt.\n\n## Patches\nValidators, full nodes, and IBC relayers should upgrade to **[cheqd-node v3.1.7](https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node/releases/tag/v3.1.7)**. This upgrade does not require a software upgrade proposal on-chain and is meant to be non state-breaking.\n\n## References\nSee [ASA-2025-004: Non-deterministic JSON Unmarshalling of IBC Acknowledgement can result in a chain halt](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/security/advisories/GHSA-jg6f-48ff-5xrw) upstream on IBC-Go.","aliases":["GO-2025-3514"],"modified":"2025-03-14T20:05:07Z","published":"2025-03-11T21:54:29Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2025-03-11T21:54:29Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-502"],"severity":"CRITICAL"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node/security/advisories/GHSA-33cr-m232-xqch"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/security/advisories/GHSA-jg6f-48ff-5xrw"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/commit/59987d52d959dc5876ffd4f307c9b33a52a43748"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2025-3514"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.1.7"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2025/03/GHSA-33cr-m232-xqch/GHSA-33cr-m232-xqch.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
