Overview

risc0-zkvm is a RISC-V virtual machine that produces zero-knowledge proofs of code it executes.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity via a missing constraint in the rv32im circuit. An attacker can manipulate the RISC-V virtual machine to treat the value of the rs1 register as the same as the rs2 register by submitting malicious proofs.
