🚀 AI TRENDS | Anthropic's Claude Code Source Map Leak Raises Security Concerns

Blockchain security company Fuzzland's intern researcher, Chaofan Shou, highlighted on X that the npm package of Anthropic's AI programming tool, Claude Code, contains a complete source map file (cli.js.map, approximately 60MB), which can be used to reconstruct the entire TypeScript source code. According to Odaily, the latest version v2.1.88, released today, still includes this file, containing the full code of 1,906 proprietary Claude Code source files, covering internal API design, telemetry analysis systems, encryption tools, and inter-process communication protocols.

Source maps are debugging files used in JavaScript development to map compressed code back to the original source code and should not appear in production release packages. In February 2025, an early version of Claude Code was exposed for the same issue, leading Anthropic to remove the old version from npm and delete the source map. However, the problem has resurfaced, with several public repositories on GitHub extracting and organizing the deobfuscated source code, including ghuntley/claude-code-source-code-deobfuscation, which has garnered nearly a thousand stars.

The leak involves the client implementation code of the Claude Code CLI tool and does not include model weights or user data, posing no direct security risk to ordinary users. However, the continued exposure of the complete source code means that internal architecture, security mechanisms, and telemetry logic are entirely transparent to the public.

🚀 Drift Protocol Suffers Unauthorized Access in Complex Attack

Drift Protocol has reported an unauthorized access incident involving a sophisticated attack using a durable nonce, according to ChainCatcher. The attacker gained control over the Drift Security Council's management by exploiting pre-signed transactions with durable nonce accounts to delay execution. The investigation indicates that the incident was not due to vulnerabilities in Drift's program or smart contracts, and there is no evidence of mnemonic phrase theft. The attacker obtained access through unauthorized or forged transaction approvals, potentially involving social engineering.

As a result, approximately $280 million was extracted from the protocol, affecting all lending, vault deposits, and trading funds. However, DSOL assets not deposited in Drift, including those staked to Drift validators, and insurance fund assets remain unaffected and are being protected. As a precautionary measure, all remaining protocol functions have been frozen, and the multisig has been updated to remove compromised wallets.

🚀 Ethereum Hardware Wallet Integration Advances with ZKNox

Nicolas Bacca, founder of the Ethereum Foundation-supported research institution ZKNox and former Ledger co-founder and CTO, discussed advancements in hardware wallet integration with Ethereum at the EthCC[9] conference. According to Foresight News, Bacca highlighted the challenges hardware wallets face in fully supporting advanced features brought by account abstraction due to the Ethereum Virtual Machine's (EVM) lack of native support for certain efficient cryptographic signatures and complex verification logic.

ZKNox has significantly reduced the on-chain verification cost of the quantum-resistant Falcon signature scheme from 24 million Gas to 2 million Gas, enhancing efficiency by approximately 12 times. This improvement brings the transaction cost of post-quantum secure signatures generated by hardware wallets closer to that of regular transactions. Additionally, ZKNox is developing a standardized SDK to enable seamless compatibility of hardware wallets with account abstraction features such as social recovery, multi-signature, and complex permission management. The company is also exploring the generation of zero-knowledge proofs on hardware devices to verify signature legitimacy on-chain without exposing sensitive information.

Bacca stated that ZKNox aims to establish open-source hardware security standards, positioning hardware wallets as universal quantum-resistant digital identity signers across Layer 2 and application scenarios.

🚀 Ethereum Foundation Unveils Wallet Security Model at EthCC[9]

Ethereum Foundation project manager Hester Bruikman presented updates on the 'Trillion Dollar Security Plan (1TS)' at the EthCC[9] conference. According to Foresight News, Bruikman detailed the WalletBeat wallet security maturity model, which evaluates wallets based on user security goals rather than a checklist of features. Wallets are categorized into four stages: Stage 0 lacks security measures; Stage 0.5 covers some features but still poses significant preventable loss risks; Stage 1 protects users from most common vulnerabilities; and Stage 2 safeguards assets in complex scenarios like cross-chain and DNS attacks.

Bruikman emphasized that the current focus of 1TS is on enhancing user experience security, particularly through advancing Clear Signing to eliminate blind signing practices. The WalletBeat grading standard is intended to pressure wallet manufacturers to upgrade their security measures. Additionally, Bruikman revealed that by the end of the first quarter of 2026, Ethereum had experienced 16 major security incidents, resulting in losses of $93 million, with historical cumulative losses exceeding $7 billion for Ethereum L1.

🚀 Bitcoin Protocol Upgrades Should Avoid Forced Legislation, Says F2Pool Co-Founder

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun expressed on the X platform that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not adopt methods similar to U.S. politicians who use 'bundled bills' to force through necessary but unpopular clauses. According to Odaily, this is a key reason for his opposition to BIP-110 and BIP-54.

In response to whether any issues were encountered using BIP-54 for fixes, Wang Chun added that the 'Timewarp' issue has been longstanding and offers no significant advantage to miners, as predicting the next block miner is impossible. Its primary use is to disrupt certain altcoins, and since it offers little benefit to Bitcoin miners, there is no urgent need for modification. Additionally, block verification efficiency has significantly improved due to libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades, negating the need for protocol layer adjustments. The 'forged confirmed transactions' issue fundamentally relies on breaking double SHA256 collisions, which would imply a breach of Bitcoin's core security if successful. Wang Chun further stated that these issues are insufficient to drive protocol modifications, with only the 'duplicate transactions' problem having some repair value, possibly being one of the few changes worth implementing.

🚀 Quantum Computing's Impact on Bitcoin Mining Assessed by BTQ Technologies

BTQ Technologies has released a research paper titled 'Kardashev Scale Quantum Computing for Bitcoin Mining,' which provides a quantitative evaluation of the physical costs associated with using quantum computing for Bitcoin mining. According to ChainCatcher, the study highlights a common market confusion between two types of quantum threats: attacks on Bitcoin's elliptic curve digital signatures, which are considered real and urgent, and quantum mining accelerated by Grover's algorithm, which is theoretically possible but extremely costly in practice.

The paper argues that to significantly impact consensus, a quantum computing cluster with energy consumption far exceeding current human civilization levels would be required. The research introduces an open-source resource estimation model that includes key components such as reversible double SHA-256 computation, fault-tolerant quantum error correction, and large-scale qubit scheduling. The conclusion emphasizes that the more immediate risk to Bitcoin arises from vulnerabilities in cryptographic signatures rather than quantum mining capabilities.
