Avalanche Releases Apricot Phase 6 Report

Avalanche has released Apricot Phase 6 report stating that its team received a report of an issue from the Abracadabra and Sushi developer teams on September 4th. The Native Asset Call precompile, a special feature on the C-Chain that is used to interact with Avalanche Native Tokens, could be abused to trick certain contracts that performed blacklist-protected calls to user-supplied contracts to call undesirable targets. With the help and collaboration of the community all funds are safe, the reported issue has not been exploited, the code has been patched, and Avalanche remains stable. Out of an abundance of caution, the Abracadabra and Sushi teams temporarily transferred their users’ funds away from impacted contracts to secure them and will be returning them to their users. Previously, Avalanche launched the AvalancheGo mandatory security upgrade Apricot Phase 6.
