Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity due to missing validation on the ICS side to check if the signer matches the provider address. This allows an attacker to opt-in, opt-out, change the commission rate, or change what public key a validator uses on a consumer chain.
