MultiversX said it confirmed that an attacker attempted to exploit an atomicity issue in the mainnet virtual machine layer, resulting in invalid state changes on-chain. To stop the situation from spreading, the network has been paused. The engineering team has already prepared a fix and is testing it in a shadow fork environment. If the tests succeed, the team said it will coordinate with validators, exchanges, and infrastructure partners to deploy the patch to mainnet. In parallel, MultiversX is evaluating a targeted recovery plan designed to preserve finalized transaction history and legitimate user state while addressing only the invalid changes tied to this incident. The project said users do not need to take any action for now and should wait for notice that normal operations have resumed. It also warned users not to submit or rebroadcast transactions and not to deposit or withdraw EGLD or ESDT through exchanges or cross-chain bridges during the disruption.
