CVE-2026-59252 Details
Description
Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input in ZenHive mpp allows an unauthenticated remote client to drain the fee-payer wallet, resulting in denial of service for legitimate clients. When the mpp Elixir library is configured as fee payer (fee_payer: true), the MPP.Methods.Tempo payment method co-signs and broadcasts a client-supplied EVM transaction without first validating that the client-supplied gas_limit is sufficient to complete the intended call. A malicious client can submit a signed transferWithMemo transaction with gas_limit deliberately set just below the amount required for successful execution. The server co-signs the transaction and broadcasts it via rpc_broadcast_sync. The transaction runs out of gas during EVM execution and reverts, but the fee-payer wallet is still charged for the burned gas while the client pays nothing and receives no resource. Repeated requests from one or more malicious clients drain the fee-payer wallet at near-zero cost to the attacker, ultimately preventing the server from sponsoring gas for legitimate payment requests. The wait_for_confirmation = false (optimistic) path is also affected: it invokes simulate_payment_call via eth_call, but that simulation omits the gas parameter and therefore does not catch out-of-gas conditions. This issue affects mpp: from 0.2.0 before 0.6.0.
A vulnerability in the ZenHive mpp Elixir library, specifically in versions 0.2.0 prior to 0.6.0, allows an unauthenticated remote client to drain the fee-payer wallet. This issue arises when the Tempo payment method is configured to have the server pay gas fees. The vulnerability stems from the library's failure to validate whether the gas limit specified by the client is adequate for the transaction. As a result, a malicious client can send a transaction with a gas limit set just below the required amount, causing the transaction to run out of gas and revert. Although the client pays nothing and receives no resources, the fee-payer wallet is charged for the gas used, leading to a denial-of-service condition for legitimate clients.
Users can update to ZenHive mpp version 0.6.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
