OpenZeppelin Contracts vulnerable to Improper Escaping of Output

Published: 8/11/2023Modified: 11/8/2023
Also known as:GHSA-g4vp-m682-qqmp

Description

### Impact OpenZeppelin Contracts is a library for secure smart contract development. Starting in version 4.0.0 and prior to version 4.9.3, contracts using `ERC2771Context` along with a custom trusted forwarder may see `_msgSender` return `address(0)` in calls that originate from the forwarder with calldata shorter than 20 bytes. This combination of circumstances does not appear to be common, in particular it is not the case for `MinimalForwarder` from OpenZeppelin Contracts, or any deployed forwarder the team is aware of, given that the signer address is appended to all calls that originate from these forwarders. ### Patches The problem has been patched in v4.9.3.
