The Solana developers, validators, and client teams have collaborated to patch a critical vulnerability this Wednesday

Solana developers, validators, and client teams worked together to resolve a serious security vulnerability. Solana validator Laine stated that the process began on August 7th when the Solana Foundation contacted well-known network operators through private channels. This contact was part of a secret patching strategy for vulnerabilities aimed at preventing them from being exploited in any way. The patch was provided through Anza engineer's GitHub repository, allowing operators to independently verify and apply changes. As of 14:00 UTC on Thursday, August 8th, detailed instructions for implementing the patch had been distributed to all stakeholders, ultimately securing 66.6% of network equity. After 70% of the network implemented the patch, this vulnerability was publicly disclosed.
