Unauthenticated service interruption via deserialized VM continuations
Published Feb 13, 2026 · Updated Feb 13, 2026
Denial of service in TON Lite Server before 2024.09 allows remote attackers to exhaust CPU resources through locally executed get methods. LiteQuery::perform_runSmcMethod deserializes attacker-supplied VM stack arguments with continuations enabled, allowing crafted continuations to perform deeply recursive jumps whose CPU cost is barely reflected in virtual gas. Unauthenticated gateway access is sufficient to monopolize server processing and reduce throughput for legitimate users, without reported confidentiality or integrity impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
