SCA: security update for github.com/evmos/evmos/v16 (GHSA-3fp5-2xwh-fxm6)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409493

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Evmos is a scalable, high-throughput Proof-of-Stake EVM blockchain that is fully compatible and
 interoperable with Ethereum. Prior to 17.0.0, there is a way to mint arbitrary tokens due to the
 possibility to have two different states not in sync during the execution of a transaction. The exploit is
 based on the fact that to sync the Cosmos SDK state and the EVM one, we rely on the `stateDB.Commit()`
 method. When we call this method, we iterate though all the `dirtyStorage` and, **if and only if** it is
 different than the `originStorage`, we set the new state. Setting the new state means we update the Cosmos
 SDK KVStore. If a contract storage state that is the same before and after a transaction, but is changed
 during the transaction and can call an external contract after the change, it can be exploited to make the
 transaction similar to non-atomic. The vulnerability is **critical** since this could lead to drain of
 funds through creative SC interactions. The issue has been patched in versions >=V17.0.0. (CVE-2024-32644)
