Shielded Labs disclosed a critical bug in Zcash's Orchard privacy pool that could have let attackers create unlimited counterfeit tokens undetected. The vulnerability, active since May 2022, was found on May 29 using AI tools and patched by June 1. While there is no proof the bug was exploited, its existence for four years has shaken market confidence, causing Zcash's price to drop about 30%. Shielded Labs plans a network upgrade and enhanced security measures to restore trust in Zcash's supply integrity.
