Definition ∞ A multi-sig bypass is a security vulnerability or exploit that circumvents the multi-signature authorization mechanism designed to protect digital assets. This bypass allows an unauthorized party to execute transactions without obtaining the required number of signatures. Such a flaw severely compromises the security of shared wallets or protocol governance systems. It negates a fundamental security layer intended for enhanced control.
Context ∞ Multi-sig bypass incidents are a grave concern in reports on smart contract security and decentralized autonomous organization hacks. Developers employ rigorous auditing and formal verification to prevent such vulnerabilities. The integrity of multi-signature schemes is paramount for securing high-value digital asset operations and collective decision-making.
