exorbitantConvex Protocol, a platform that boosts rewards for those using the Curve stablecoin, has mitigated an issue that could've resulted in a $15 billion rug pull.
Rug pulls occur when seemingly legitimate cryptocurrency projects abscond with investor funds. It's become a considerable problem in the decentralized finance space in theOpenZeppelin, a blockchain security firm, uncovered a significant vulnerability during a security audit for Coinbase of the Convex Finance protocol.
The bug could only be exploited or patched by Convex's development team, which OpenZeppelin said made the disclosure process complicated. The security firm said it was reasonably sure that the issue was unintentional, meaning developers didn't know about the vulnerability or have the intention of absconding with funds, but if the firm was wrong, the fallout of alerting the very people with the power to conduct the rug pull had the potential to be disastrous.
Ultimately, OpenZeppelin said it attempted to obtain assurances that the vulnerability would not be exploited ahead of describing the vulnerability to the Convex team. They used bug bounty partner Immunefi as an intermediary. Since then, the bug has been patched. The vulnerability was never exploited and no funds were ever lost.
