Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Polkadot Frontier versions prior to commit 36f70d1
Description:
Polkadot Frontier is an Ethereum and EVM compatibility layer for Polkadot and Substrate. The `Curve25519Add` and `Curve25519ScalarMul` precompiles incorrectly handle invalid Ristretto point representations. Instead of returning an error, they silently treat invalid input bytes as the Ristretto identity element, potentially leading to incorrect cryptographic results.
Recommendations:
Update to commit 36f70d1 or a later version to address this issue.
Fix
Use of a Broken Cryptographic Algorithm
