Harmony Patches Critical Security Flaws After Unauthorized Mint

Harmony pushed a mainnet update on August 12 to address two specific technical vulnerabilities. The move follows reports of an unauthorized mint involving the ONE token. The patch modifies how the network handles quorum checks for pre staking committees and updates the cross shard receipt process to prevent the same transfer from being processed multiple times.

The v2026.1.1 update serves as a direct response to potential exploitation within the network infrastructure. By tightening these verification paths, developers aim to stop receipt replay attacks that could threaten the integrity of the token supply.

Traders should monitor how the protocol handles ongoing governance and staking activities following this release. While the patch is now live, the network will likely see increased scrutiny as users track whether these fixes fully resolve the underlying issues reported earlier this week.
