Klever Go Package Compromised: Early Warning of Supply-Chain Attack
- Severity
- HIGH
- Affected component
- klever-go (go)
- Affected versions
- < 1.7.19
- Patched version
- Not yet available
The Klever Go package was reportedly compromised, allowing unbounded minting of KLV tokens. This appears to have been actively exploited, minting tens of millions of KLV before an emergency guard was deployed.
What happened
The Klever Go package, specifically versions prior to 1.7.19, was reportedly compromised. This compromise allowed for an integer overflow in the split-royalty validation, enabling unbounded minting of KLV tokens. This vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-54755, was actively exploited on mainnet, resulting in the minting of tens of millions of KLV tokens before an emergency guard was deployed. Additionally, another vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-54754, allowed for minting of KLV when the referral percentage plus royalty percentage exceeded the bid, silently skipping the negative seller share. This issue was also part of the compromise.
The attack was first flagged on August 28, 2026, at 16:22:15 UTC. The severity of this incident is classified as high due to the potential for significant financial loss and the active exploitation in the wild. The attack type is categorized as a supply-chain attack, with the specific IDs GHSA-P7GW-2PCP-5PF8 and GHSA-CGC5-V3F2-8M2V associated with the vulnerabilities.
What to do about it
- Avoid using the affected version of the klever-go package until a patched version is released.
- Check your dependencies for any inclusion of klever-go versions prior to 1.7.19.
- If you are using an affected version, consider switching to an alternative package or implementing temporary safeguards until a patch is available.
- Monitor the primary sources for updates on patched versions and further details.
- Consult the GitHub advisories GHSA-CGC5-V3F2-8M2V and GHSA-P7GW-2PCP-5PF8 for the latest information and recommended actions.
