Users of OKX Wallet are being warned by blockchain security firm Certik to update their iOS app.
Via a post on the social media platform X, Certik says that it has found a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability within the OKX Wallet app.
An RCE is when a hacker can target a computing device and make changes remotely, no matter where the device is located.
According to Certik, OKX has responded by releasing a new version of the iOS app without the vulnerability.
“Attention! We urge users of OKX wallets to update their iOS app to the latest version immediately. Earlier this month, we identified and reported a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in the OKX iOS App, leading to potential compromise of sensitive data and crypto assets. The OKX team responded swiftly and issued an updated version today.
For anyone in doubt of the impact of the risk, we have hard evidence showing that – the vulnerability allows an attacker to fully control the OKX iOS App. You are at high risk of losing your assets if you insist on using an older version.”
Responding to the security alert, OKX said,
“Thanks Certik for the note.
We’ve completed the relevant upgrade & this is no longer an issue. We have verified that this did not impact any customer assets.
The fix has been deployed to iOS version 6.45.0 & we recommend you update the app ASAP.”
