A newly discovered vulnerability in the Babylon staking protocol could disrupt the Bitcoin network's consensus process, potentially slowing block generation. Developers revealed on GitHub that the flaw affects the BLS voting extension scheme, allowing malicious validators to omit the block hash field during vote extensions. This omission could lead to consensus issues at network epoch boundaries, impacting block generation if multiple validators are compromised. While there are no reports of active exploitation, developers caution that the vulnerability poses a risk if not addressed.
