MarketNow Open-Sources Security Audit, Reveals Critical Payment Bugs

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

MarketNow, a platform for AI agent skills using USDC payments, open-sourced its security audit after launch. Four critical vulnerabilities were found, including a mandate spend failure that allowed unlimited purchases and a txHash replay bug enabling free licenses. All critical and high-severity issues have been fixed.

Meridian48 take
