CVE-2024-51427Network attack vector

Unspecified impact via mint function

Published Oct 30, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2024

An unspecified flaw in the PepeGxng smart contract on Ethereum allows remote attackers to cause unspecified impact through the mint function. MITRE's record identifies the mint function but does not disclose any incorrect operation on attacker-controlled input, and its only technical reference is unavailable. The claim is disputed because the reported effect is limited to ordinary function calls, so no consequence beyond the contract's normal call behavior is established.
