Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Cronos versions before 0.6.5 are vulnerable, as are Ethermint versions before 0.7.3 and from 0.8.0 up to (not including) 0.10.0, and Evmos up to and including 0.4.2, which has no fixed version listed. An attacker who can submit a specially crafted Ethereum transaction message to a node can take transaction fees collected for the current block from the Cosmos SDK fee collector, while user funds and balances are not affected. Upgrade Cronos to 0.6.5 or Ethermint to 0.7.3 or 0.10.0; the source lists no workaround and recommends upgrading.
