[Sui Attributes Three Mainnet Outages to Upgrade Vulnerabilities, Acknowledges Known Risk Before Final Fix Implementation] According to The Block, the Sui Foundation has released an incident analysis report on the three recent mainnet outages, attributing the disruptions that occurred last Thursday and Friday to two independent vulnerabilities introduced in the v1.72 upgrade. The first outage lasted approximately six and a half hours, while the second and third outages occurred on Friday morning and afternoon, respectively. The first two outages stemmed from a flaw in the "address balance" feature introduced in v1.72, which exposed a defect in the transaction fee deduction mechanism. When transactions were canceled due to insufficient funds, the network still deducted those funds, resulting in negative balances that caused validator nodes to crash during reconciliation. The Foundation acknowledged that the temporary fix urgently pushed on Thursday carried a known risk of further outages. The team accepted this risk in order to quickly restore on-chain services, which subsequently led to another outage on Friday morning.
