An RPC endpoint compromise occurs when an attacker gains unauthorized access or control over a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoint, which serves as an interface for interacting with a blockchain node or other network services. This compromise can allow attackers to intercept, manipulate, or inject malicious transactions. It poses a significant security risk, as it can lead to the theft of funds or disruption of network operations. Securing these endpoints is paramount.
