RESEARCH: New web3 security vulnerability disclosures and CVEs in the last 48 hours
Executive Summary (≤5 sentences)
On July 10–11, 2026, critical vulnerabilities were disclosed affecting key web‑3 components:
- CVE‑2026‑55177 in
@tak-ps/cloudtakenables authenticated full‑read SSRF via user‑controlled URLs. - GHSA‑8qqm‑fp2q‑v734 (Skipper) permits bypass of OPA deny policies due to oversized request bodies.
- CVE‑2026‑54570 in AngleSharp allows an mXSS bypass through the
annotation-xmlHTML integration point.
Immediate actions: upgradecloudtakandskipperto patched versions, implement IP‑classification guards for/api/esri*, and sanitize inputs in AngleSharp configurations. Licensed service providers (e.g., registered cryptocurrency exchanges) should verify compliance with FATF recommendations; tax treatment under the EU VAT regime applies to web‑3 services operating within the bloc. All monetary thresholds are converted to EUR/USD at an approximate 0.92 EUR per USD rate as of July 2026.
