Definition ∞ Dual Vulnerability describes a security weakness where a system is susceptible to two distinct types of attacks or exploits. This condition often compounds the overall risk, presenting multiple points of failure. It indicates a heightened state of insecurity for the system.
Context ∞ Identifying and mitigating dual vulnerabilities is a significant concern in blockchain security. The combination of two weaknesses can lead to more severe and complex compromises, frequently appearing in post-mortem analyses of protocol exploits. Robust security practices aim to address these compounded risks.
