Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in ZenHive mpp allows an unauthenticated remote client to drain the fee-payer wallet through concurrent sponsored payments, denying service to legitimate payers once it is empty.
MPP.Methods.Tempo.FeePayerPolicy enforces its ceilings (max_gas, max_fee_per_gas, max_priority_fee_per_gas, the worst-case gas_limit * max_fee_per_gas <= max_total_fee budget cap, and a validity window) against one transaction at a time, and nothing accounts for exposure across concurrent requests. reserve_hash_atomic/2 is keyed on the transaction hash, so it prevents duplicate broadcast of the same signed transaction but not N distinct sponsored transactions carrying distinct expiring nonces. Committed sponsor exposure is therefore N times max_total_fee, bounded by nothing in the library, and the default 900 second validity window lets co-signed transactions stay broadcastable and uncounted for that entire period.
This issue affects mpp: from 0.2.0 before 0.12.0.
AnalysisAI
Concurrent sponsored-payment flooding in ZenHive mpp (versions 0.2.0 through 0.12.0) allows an unauthenticated remote client to drain a fee-payer wallet to zero, denying service to all legitimate sponsored-transaction users once the wallet is empty. The root cause is that MPP.Methods.Tempo.FeePayerPolicy enforces per-transaction budget ceilings but maintains no aggregate accounting across concurrent in-flight sponsorships, meaning N simultaneous sponsored requests commit N × max_total_fee against the wallet with no global cap. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target mpp deployment is configured with fee_payer_url to enable hosted fee-payer sponsorship (the Tempo pipeline with the fee_payer_policy block active). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.3 is well-founded and not inflated. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker discovers a public-facing mpp-powered API endpoint configured for hosted fee-payer sponsorship, such as a DeFi relay or gas-abstraction service. The attacker submits hundreds of concurrent sponsored transaction requests, each with a distinct nonce, all valid under the per-transaction fee policy ceiling - each is individually accepted and committed against the sponsor wallet. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade mpp to version 0.12.0 or later, which introduces the max_in_flight_total_fee and max_in_flight_reservations controls in fee_payer_policy and requires selection of an atomic store (ConCacheStore or equivalent shared-backend store for multi-node deployments). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit all deployed instances of ZenHive mpp to identify versions 0.2.0 through 0.12.0 currently in production and map which systems expose sponsored-payment endpoints to untrusted networks. …
