Security firm PingSafe has claimed that the popular meme token team leaked Amazon Web Services credentials in August. So he claimed that he put the entire project in jeopardy for two full days. The SHIB team remains silent on the matter. Security firm PingSafe found that the Shiba Inu (SHIB) token’s development team leaked AWS credentials in August. The leaked credentials were exposed for two days. They have since been removed from the project’s GitHub repository.
Claim: SHIB team leaked some information
The firm, the team behind SHIB, reportedly leaked AWS credentials for more than two days in August. Security firm PingSafe released a report detailing its findings on Sept. On August 22, Shiba Inu said it discovered that a commit on its public GitHub repository was showing credentials for the project’s Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. Also, this leak affected two environment variables that allow scripts to access an AWS account. It contained several pieces of data, including AWS_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_SECRET_KEY.
In this case, the affected code was part of a script used to run validator nodes for Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network, Shibarium. PingSafe revealed that this bug “severely exposed the company’s AWS account.” He said this could lead to security breaches such as funds theft, embezzlement and service disruptions. PingSafe stated that it is trying to contact Shiba Inu and various developers to inform them about the risk via email and social networks. However, he added that he did not receive any response.
The danger of leakage is over
The security firm also tried to find a bug bounty program or responsible disclosure policy. But couldn’t find any way to report the problem. The leak is no longer a risk as the credentials become invalid after two days. The Shiba Inu team also deleted the commit containing the leak, following Pingsafe’s report. The latest code commits do not contain the leaked data. The Shiba Inu did not become a major target for attacks. However, wider attacks have seen the coin being stolen.
