All in Bits: “AiB has uncovered cause for serious security concerns with Cosmos Hub's Liquid Staking Module (LSM).
Timeline:
* Aug 2021: LSM development begins, led by Iqlusion & Zaki Manian
* Jul 2022: Oak Security audit reveals critical vulnerabilities; North Korean devs tasked with fixes
* Mar 2023: FBI informs Zaki of DPRK involvement
* Apr 2023: Despite notification from FBI, Zaki promotes LSM as "finished" and without disclosure to the Cosmos Hub community and pushes the LSM Signaling Proposal on chain
* Sep 2023: LSM integrated into Hub, 19 months post-audit
Key Concerns:
* Majority of LSM code written by North Korean agents
* The "LSM" is not a standalone module but a set of modifications to the existing staking/distribution/ slashing modules, potentially affecting all staked ATOM
* Vulnerabilities allowing slashing evasion persist
* 19 months of unaudited code changes
* Material misrepresentation by Zaki Manian & Iqlusion
* Lack of transparency from ICF, Stride Labs, Informal Systems
Recommendations:
* Immediate fix of the major staking vulnerability of the LSM
* Immediate, comprehensive LSM audit
* Full disclosure of DPRK involvement discovery timelines
* ICF blacklist of involved parties
* New audit & oversight protocols for ICF-funded projects
This breach undermines Cosmos Hub's security and integrity. AtomOne remains committed to these principles.”
