[Babylon Staking Protocol Vulnerability May Affect Block Generation Speed] A post published by developers on GitHub revealed that the Bitcoin staking protocol Babylon has a software vulnerability that could allow malicious validators to disrupt certain consensus processes, potentially slowing down block generation speed. The vulnerability affects Babylon's block signature scheme, the BLS voting extension scheme, where validators can create consensus issues during network epoch boundaries by omitting the block hash field. The block hash field is used to indicate the block supported by validators, and omitting this field could cause other validators to crash during critical consensus checks, thereby impacting block generation. Currently, there are no reports of this vulnerability being exploited, but developers warn of the risk of abuse.
