Wallet takeover via zero-signature recovery
Published Jun 25, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Signature verification in Argent RecoveryManager before 0xdc350d09f71c48c5D22fBE2741e4d6A03970E192 allows remote attackers to take over wallets. For a wallet with no guardians, getRequiredSignatures calculates ceil(guardianCount/2) as zero, so executeRecovery accepts an unsigned ownership change. The attacker must wait through the default 36-hour recovery period to finalize takeover, but repeated retriggering after cancellation can indefinitely lock funds.
