AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Arithmetic overflow in Soroban SDK versions up to 25.0.2 allows contracts using user-controlled range bounds in Bytes::slice, Vec::slice, or Prng::gen_range methods to operate on incorrect data ranges or generate unintended random numbers, potentially corrupting contract state. Developers who do not enable overflow-checks in their Rust configuration are vulnerable to this silent data corruption. A patch is available and should be applied immediately to affected Soroban contracts.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

soroban-sdk is a Rust SDK for Soroban contracts. Arithmetic overflow can be triggered in the Bytes::slice, Vec::slice, and Prng::gen_range (for u64) methods in the soroban-sdk in versions up to and including 25.0.1, 23.5.1, and 25.0.2. Contracts that pass user-controlled or computed range bounds to Bytes::slice, Vec::slice, or Prng::gen_range may silently operate on incorrect data ranges or generate random numbers from an unintended range, potentially resulting in corrupted contract state. Note that the best practice when using the soroban-sdk and building Soroban contracts is to always enable overflow-checks = true. The stellar contract init tool that prepares the boiler plate for a Soroban contract, as well as all examples and docs, encourage the use of configuring overflow-checks = true on release profiles so that these arithmetic operations fail rather than silently wrap. Contracts are only impacted if they use overflow-checks = false either explicitly or implicitly. It is anticipated the majority of contracts could not be impacted because the best practice encouraged by tooling is to enable overflow-checks. The fix available in 25.0.1, 23.5.1, and 25.0.2 replaces bare arithmetic with checked_add / checked_sub, ensuring overflow traps regardless of the overflow-checks profile setting. As a workaround, contract workspaces can be configured with a profile available in the GitHub Securtity Advisory to enable overflow checks on the arithmetic operations. This is the best practice when developing Soroban contracts, and the default if using the contract boilerplate generated using stellar contract init. Alternatively, contracts can validate range bounds before passing them to slice or gen_range to ensure the conversions cannot overflow.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using versions should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2026-24889, a integer overflow vulnerability rated CVSS 5.3. Exploitation could cause memory corruption or application crashes. A patch is available and should be applied during regular vulnerability management.

Business Impact: Low
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: enable ASLR/DEP, apply network segmentation.
