Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection through the improper handling of gas limits in precompile executions. An attacker can manipulate the state of the blockchain by causing certain functions to execute with insufficient gas, leading to incomplete state reverts and potential inconsistencies.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the blockchain uses the affected precompile contracts and configurations.
