DescriptionCVE.org

Signum Node is a HDD-mined cryptocurrency using an energy efficient and fair Proof-of-Commitment (PoC+) consensus algorithm. Prior to version 3.9.9, an integer overflow in BlockServiceImpl.applyBlock() allowed a miner to receive an arbitrarily inflated block reward by crafting a block with a negative totalFeeCashBackNqt value. The vulnerability was introduced when the SMART_FEES hardfork (block ~1,029,000) enabled fee cash-back and burn accounting without overflow protection. This issue has been patched in version 3.9.9.

AnalysisAI

Integer overflow in Signum Node's block processing engine prior to v3.9.9 allows a malicious miner to receive an arbitrarily inflated block reward by crafting a block with a negative totalFeeCashBackNqt value. The flaw exists in BlockServiceImpl.applyBlock() and was introduced when the SMART_FEES hardfork (at block ~1,029,000) added fee cash-back and burn accounting logic without overflow guards. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be an active miner on the Signum network - meaning they must have committed hard-drive capacity under the Proof-of-Commitment algorithm and be capable of forging and submitting blocks. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:L, score 7.5) accurately reflects the exploitability profile: network-reachable via block propagation, high complexity due to the mining prerequisite, no separate authentication needed beyond participating in block forging, and a scope-changed integrity impact affecting the entire blockchain ledger. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to Signum Node v3.9.9, which contains the fix for this integer overflow; the patched release is available at https://github.com/signum-network/signum-node/releases/tag/v3.9.9. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all Signum Node deployments to identify versions prior to v3.9.9 and review active mining operations for exposure. …
