On August 7, 2024, Solana developers began addressing a serious vulnerability in the network. 
The Solana Foundation initially contacted network operators through private channels to ensure the patch could be applied discreetly and securely. This strategic move was aimed at preventing potential exploitation of the vulnerability. 
Developed by an Anza engineer and made available through a GitHub repository, the patch allowed network operators to independently verify and apply the necessary updates.

By 5:00 PM on August 8, detailed instructions for applying the patch had been distributed to stakeholders, securing 66.6 percent of the network. 
The vulnerability was made public after 70% of the network had successfully applied the patch. Solana Labs then issued an urgent announcement on Discord, urging all remaining operators to update their systems immediately. The statement reads: 
“Core contributors have identified a network security issue that requires immediate attention. The v1.18.21 patch will be available in 30 minutes. Please be prepared to upgrade as soon as the announcement is sent.” 
This coordinated effort highlights the proactive measures taken by Solana's developers and validators to ensure network security and stability.
