A critical vulnerability in the Virtuals Protocol related to token pair creation on Uniswap V2 was discovered by security researcher Jinu, prompting a swift patch and plans for a bug bounty program to enhance security. The issue stemmed from a lack of validation in the Agent Token.sol contract, allowing potential exploitation of token pairings. In response, Virtuals Protocol implemented validation procedures and acknowledged Jinu's contribution while also addressing recent on-chain movements of its native VIRTUAL token, which has seen significant price increases.
