Impacts in Scope

Impacts Body

Excluded Giga-Related Functionality

Any functionality related to Giga is currently out of scope for this bug bounty program.

Specifically, the following are excluded from scope:

  • Any code paths that require setting any GIGA_* configuration flag to true
  • Any configuration options defined under configuration sections prefixed with giga
  • All code contained within the giga Go package

All Giga-related configuration flags and settings are disabled by default in all supported environments.

As a result:

  • Vulnerabilities that are only exploitable when Giga-related configuration flags are enabled
  • Vulnerabilities that exist exclusively within the giga Go package
  • Vulnerabilities reachable solely through execution paths gated by Giga configuration

are not eligible for rewards under this bug bounty program.


Excluded StateSync Peer Functionality

Any functionality related to StateSync Peers is currently out of scope for this bug bounty program.

A StateSync Peer is a trusted node that provides state synchronization data to other nodes during initial sync. These are nodes explicitly configured as RPC servers and persistent peers for the purpose of state sync. They serve trust height, trust hash, and block/state data that the syncing node consumes directly.

Specifically, the following are excluded from scope:

  • Any vulnerabilities that require a malicious or compromised StateSync Peer to be exploited
  • Any attack vectors that depend on a StateSync Peer returning tampered block data, trust hashes, or state snapshots
  • Any vulnerabilities that rely on poisoning the persistent peers list with attacker-controlled node IDs obtained through compromised StateSync Peer RPC responses
  • Any vulnerabilities related to P2P-mode state sync, where any connected P2P peer can serve as a state provider. P2P-mode state sync is disabled by default and is not used in Sei's supported state sync workflow

StateSync Peers are considered trusted infrastructure within the Sei network's threat model. As a result:

  • Vulnerabilities that assume a StateSync Peer is acting maliciously or has been compromised
  • Vulnerabilities that are only exploitable by controlling or impersonating a StateSync Peer endpoint
  • Vulnerabilities reachable solely through tampered RPC responses from a trusted StateSync Peer
  • Vulnerabilities that exist exclusively within P2P-mode state sync code paths

are not eligible for rewards under this bug bounty program.

Severity

Direct loss of funds

Severity
Critical
Title

Permanent freezing of funds (fix requires hard fork)

Severity
High
Title

RPC API crash affecting projects with greater than or equal to 25% of the market capitalization on top of the respective layer

Severity
High

Unintended permanent chain split requiring hard fork (network partition requiring hard fork)

Severity
High

Network not being able to confirm new transactions (total network shutdown)

Severity
Medium
Title

Increasing network processing node resource consumption by at least 30% without brute force actions, compared to the preceding 24 hours

Severity
Medium
Title

Shutdown of greater than or equal to 30% of network processing nodes without brute force actions, but does not shut down the network

Severity
Medium
Title

A bug in the respective layer 0/1/2 network code that results in unintended smart contract behavior with no concrete funds at direct risk

Severity
Medium
Title

Temporary freezing of network transactions by delaying one block by 500% or more of the average block time of the preceding 24 hours beyond standard difficulty adjustments

Severity
Medium
Title

Causing network processing nodes to process transactions from the mempool beyond set parameters

Severity
Low
Title

Shutdown of greater than 10% or equal to but less than 30% of network processing nodes without brute force actions, but does not shut down the network

Severity
Low
Title

Modification of transaction fees outside of design parameters

Out of scope

Default Out of Scope and rules

Blockchain/DLT specific

  • Incorrect data supplied by third party oracles
    • Not to exclude oracle manipulation/flash loan attacks
  • Impacts requiring basic economic and governance attacks (e.g. 51% attack)
  • Lack of liquidity impacts
  • Impacts from Sybil attacks
  • Impacts involving centralization risks

All categories

  • Impacts requiring attacks that the reporter has already exploited themselves, leading to damage
  • Impacts caused by attacks requiring access to leaked keys/credentials
  • Impacts caused by attacks requiring access to privileged addresses (including, but not limited to: governance and strategist contracts) without additional modifications to the privileges attributed
  • Impacts relying on attacks involving the depegging of an external stablecoin where the attacker does not directly cause the depegging due to a bug in code
  • Mentions of secrets, access tokens, API keys, private keys, etc. in Github will be considered out of scope without proof that they are in-use in production
  • Best practice recommendations
  • Feature requests
  • Impacts on test files and configuration files unless stated otherwise in the bug bounty program
  • Impacts requiring phishing or other social engineering attacks against project's employees and/or customers
