A security control bypass is an act of circumventing protective measures designed to prevent unauthorized access or actions within a digital system. This involves finding and exploiting a vulnerability in the implementation or design of security mechanisms, allowing an attacker to gain privileges or perform operations that should be restricted. In digital asset systems, it could mean bypassing smart contract checks, authentication protocols, or network firewalls. A successful bypass compromises the integrity and confidentiality of assets or data.
Context
Reports on security control bypasses are common after hacks or exploits of decentralized applications, exchanges, or underlying blockchain infrastructure. Developers continuously work to identify and patch such vulnerabilities through audits and bug bounty programs. The ongoing struggle against these bypass attempts is a constant feature of digital asset security news.
