Reliquary patches three validator exploits in 24h
Share
Reliquary discovered and deployed fixes for three separate miner exploits targeting token validation and training data integrity. A token array mismatch vulnerability allowed malicious miners to prove one output while being scored on another, collapsing training charts. Two additional exploits emerged: cap-length termination abuse and manufactured EOS padding. Validators now enforce strict token matching, reject cap truncation and tokens after EOS, and quarantine suspicious training windows. Miner checkpoint reset to n=446 required.
- •Token mismatch bug: miners could submit different token arrays for proof vs. reward/training; now enforced identical
- •Cap truncation abuse: miners forced 8192 token cap without natural EOS; now counted as bad termination
- •EOS padding exploit: short answers padded with fake EOS tokens passed checks but poisoned training; rejected
- •Validator now recomputes reward instead of trusting miner submission; training quarantine for suspicious windows deployed
