[ZEC Rebounds 42%, ZODL Founder Details Two-Phase Emergency Upgrade Plan] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on June 8, ZODL founder Josh Swihart further disclosed how the Zcash team addressed a critical vulnerability in the Orchard privacy pool. In a post published on the X platform on Sunday, Swihart stated that the ZODL team had introduced a two-phase emergency upgrade plan for the privacy-focused blockchain network Zcash. The first phase involved a soft fork aimed at temporarily disabling Orchard transactions to reduce the risk of the vulnerability being exploited, while avoiding the full disclosure of the issue's details before responsible disclosure. Subsequently, on June 3, the team activated the second phase, a hard fork upgrade (NU6.2), to fix the underlying vulnerability and re-enable Orchard transaction functionality. Previously, the independent technical support organization Shielded Labs revealed a critical vulnerability in Zcash's Orchard privacy pool, which theoretically could allow attackers to infinitely mint counterfeit ZEC tokens. The organization stated that the vulnerability has been fixed, and there is currently no evidence that it was ever exploited. Orchard is Zcash's current core privacy transaction pool, enabling users to send and receive fully anonymous ZEC transactions using zero-knowledge proof technology. The Orchard circuit is responsible for verifying that all transactions entering the system are legitimate. Swihart also revealed that during the incident response process, the ZODL team actively responded to code review requests from mining pools and exchanges to demonstrate the security of the fix and the team's credibility. Among them, the mining pools ViaBTC and Foundry played a critical role in coordinating the emergency response.
