The vulnerability originated from a code cleanup in June 2023, and was not identified during an independent security audit conducted by Zellic in August 2024. Approximately 3 hours after the incident, Radix validators proactively took enough staked share offline to prevent the network from reaching consensus, thereby preventing further exploitation of the vulnerability.

Radix stated that the vulnerability fix has been completed and has undergone independent review and testing, and network recovery is currently underway.
