    ALTCHA Proof-of-Work Vulnerable to Challenge Splicing and Replay

    Issue
    Impact A cryptographic semantic binding flaw in ALTCHA libraries allows challenge payload splicing, which may enable replay attacks. The HMAC signature does not unambiguously bind challenge parameters to the nonce, allowing an attacker to reinterpret a valid proof-of-work submission with a modified expiration value. This may allow previously solved challenges to be reused beyond their intended lifetime, depending on server-side replay handling and deployment assumptions. The vulnerability primarily impacts abuse-prevention mechanisms such as rate limiting and bot mitigation. It does not directly affect data confidentiality or integrity. Patches This issue has been addressed by enforcing explicit semantic separation between challenge parameters and the nonce during HMAC computation. Users are advised to upgrade to patched versions. Workarounds As a mitigation, implementations may append a delimiter to the end of the salt value prior to HMAC computation (for example,…

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.0.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
