Vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the EVM. The _abi_decode() function does not validate input when it is nested in an expression. Uses of _abi_decode() can be constructed which allow for bounds checking to be bypassed resulting in incorrect results. This issue has not yet been fixed, but a fix is expected in release 0.3.10. Users are advised to reference pull request #3626.
CVE-2023-42460
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.7% (50th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
