CVE-2018-12975 (GCVE-0-2018-12975)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-09-24 22:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 08:52
VLAI
Summary
The random() function of the smart contract implementation for CryptoSaga, an Ethereum game, generates a random value with publicly readable variables such as timestamp, the current block's blockhash, and a private variable (which can be read with a getStorageAt call). Therefore, attackers can precompute the random number and manipulate the game (e.g., get powerful characters or get critical damages).
