BNB Chain urges BSC-Reth security update, promotes Red Alarm tool

BNB Chain has renewed its promotion of the Red Alarm security tool while urging BSC-Reth node operators to install a hotfix addressing a blockchain state calculation bug. BNB Chain has renewed attention on Red Alarm, a security scanner originally introduced in 2022. The DappBay service lists risky applications and lets users inspect smart contracts before making transactions. BSC-Reth operators on mainnet and testnet are urged to install v0.1.4-hotfix and restart their nodes. The hotfix addresses incorrect state-root calculations and requires neither database migration nor another hard fork. BNB Chain said opBNB does not use op-reth and described the BSC-Reth exposure as limited.
