Stellar

Stellar is a layer-1 open-source, decentralized, peer-to-peer blockchain network that provides a framework for developers to create applications, issue assets, and connect to existing financial rails. Stellar is designed to enable creators, innovators, and developers to build projects on the network that can interoperate with each other.

Direct loss of funds

Severity
Critical
Title

Permanent freezing of funds (fix requires hardfork)

Severity
High
Title

Unintended chain split (network partition)

Severity
High
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
High
Title

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

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
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
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

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
