Ledger patches vulnerability after multiple DApps using connector library were compromised

Update (Dec. 14 at 2:45 pm UTC): This article has been updated to clarify that Ledger has reportedly fixed the issue.

The front end of multiple decentralized applications (DApps) using Ledger’s connector, including Zapper, SushiSwap, Phantom, Balancer and Revoke.cash were compromised on Dec. 14. Nearly three hours after the security breach was discovered, Ledger reported that the malicious version of the file had been replaced with its genuine version around 1:35 pm UTC.

Ledger is warning users "to always Clear Sign" transactions, adding that the addresses and the information presented on the Ledger screen are the only genuine information. “If there’s a difference between the screen shown on your Ledger device and your computer/phone screen, stop that transaction immediately.”

SushiSwap chief technical officer Matthew Lilley was among the first to report the issue, noting that a commonly used Web3 connector was compromised, allowing malicious code to be injected into numerous DApps. The on-chain analyst said the Ledger library confirmed the compromise where the vulnerable code inserted the drainer account address.

Lilley blamed Ledger for the ongoing vulnerability and compromise on multiple DApps. The exec claimed that Ledger’s content delivery network was compromised, with JavaScript being loaded from the compromised network.

BTC price bounces after snap sell-off
