A staked token vulnerability is a flaw risking loss or manipulation of locked digital assets. This weakness exists within a proof-of-stake blockchain protocol or its associated staking smart contracts, potentially resulting in the compromise or unauthorized control of digital assets committed to staking. It could stem from errors in slashing conditions, improper reward distribution logic, or other defects in the contract governing staked funds. Such vulnerabilities jeopardize validator security and network integrity.
