An RPC service vulnerability refers to a security weakness within a Remote Procedure Call service, which allows one program to request a service from a program located on another computer without needing to understand the network’s details. Such vulnerabilities can permit unauthorized access, data manipulation, or denial of service if exploited by malicious actors. These flaws often arise from improper authentication, authorization, or input validation within the RPC implementation. They pose a direct threat to the integrity and availability of distributed systems.

News reports occasionally detail incidents where compromised RPC services led to fund theft or network disruption. Securing these interfaces is paramount for maintaining the operational security of blockchain infrastructure.
