CVE-2026-46669 Details
Description
OpenVM is a performant and modular zkVM framework built for customization and extensibility. Prior to version 1.6.0, the openvm-pairing guest library's try_honest_pairing_check function invokes Theorem 3 of https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/640.pdf but does not check that the scaling factor s is in a proper subfield of Fp12. This allows incorrect results to the pairing check. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.0.
A vulnerability exists in the OpenVM zkVM framework, specifically in the openvm-pairing guest library version prior to 1.6.0. The issue arises in the try_honest_pairing_check function, which improperly validates the scaling factor 's' in relation to Theorem 3 of a referenced paper. This oversight allows incorrect results in the pairing check, potentially enabling dishonest provers to manipulate the outcome.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenVM version 1.6.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
