Upgrade github.com/consensys/gnark/constraint/solver to version 0.11.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor due to the implementation of commitments in Groth16 proofs. An attacker can deduce the actual values of small witness variables by enumerating all possible choices. This vulnerability does not affect the completeness or soundness of the proofs.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by manually committing to a randomized value at proving time to mask the rest of the values which were committed.
