Foresight News reports that the Brave research team has released a report indicating that the blockchain transaction authorization system zkLogin has three main vulnerabilities. The report shows that these vulnerabilities are not implementation issues but are inherent flaws in zkLogin’s current architecture and the overall system.
The three types of vulnerabilities identified include: zkLogin’s implicit reliance on externally issued JSON documents that may contain semantic ambiguities, the system converting short-term holder verification documents into permanent authorization credentials, and zkLogin introducing privacy and governance risks through re-centralized trust. None of these vulnerabilities involve cryptographic cracking or zero-knowledge proof breaches; instead, they stem from semantic ambiguities, lack of binding guarantees, and architectural trust transfer.
