Cosmos misjudged a critical bug for four months before hackers stole nearly $6 million across six chains

A critical Cosmos-related bug was reportedly misjudged for four months before hackers exploited it, stealing nearly $6 million across six chains, CryptoSlate reported. The upstream fix reached release branches only hours before the incident, leaving limited time for affected networks to apply the update. The episode involved multiple crypto ecosystems, including Cosmos and Osmosis, while the reported asset list also includes CRO, ACH, ENS, MON, NEAR, ONT, ORE, RED, CROSS and LION. MANTRA said that none of the tokens involved had been recovered. The incident highlights the timing risk created when a vulnerability fix becomes available shortly before an exploit, although the supplied information does not identify the affected code path or provide further details on the six chains.
