zkLink announced that it has confirmed an ongoing attack on the Arbitrator contracts of zkLink Nova deployed on Ethereum and Optimism. Its technical team is taking urgent action to contain losses. The official called on the attacker to cease further exploitation of cross-chain contracts and return the affected funds; cooperation in returning the funds will earn a 20% white hat bounty, with no further action taken against the attacker. Earlier, security firm SlowMist issued a security alert noting the incident has caused approximately $783,100 in losses. The root vulnerability stems from the Arbitrator contract’s claimMessage function not clearing the temporary finalizeMessageHash and not requiring each call to go through a new authentication callback. Attackers exploited the publicly callable authorized SyncL2TxHashRelayer to inject a forged batch root and siphon assets.
