CVE-2026-55763: CWE-841: Improper Enforcement of Behavioral Workflow in klever-io klever-go
Description
CVE-2026-55763 is a high-severity vulnerability in klever-go, the Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. Prior to version 1.7.19, a logic flaw in the processPercentageRoyaltiesTransfer function allows a 100% royalty split to be processed without debiting the source account, resulting in unbounded off-the-books inflation of the KDA token supply. This occurs because the function returns early when royaltiesToPay reaches zero, before subtracting the amount from the sender's balance. The issue is fixed in version 1.7.19.

Technical Analysis
The vulnerability arises from improper enforcement of behavioral workflow in klever-go's processPercentageRoyaltiesTransfer function. When a TransferPercentage royalty is configured with a 100% split, the function consumes the entire royalty pool and sets royaltiesToPay to zero, then returns early without debiting the source account. Consequently, the split recipient receives the full royalty amount while the sender pays nothing, and the supply counter is not updated, enabling unbounded inflation of the KDA token. The sibling processFixedRoyaltiesTransfer function is unaffected as it debits the source before distribution. This flaw is addressed in klever-go version 1.7.19.
Potential Impact
An attacker or any KDA owner configuring a 100% TransferPercentage royalty can exploit this flaw to mint unlimited KDA tokens without debiting the sender's balance, causing inflation and undermining the token's economic integrity. This impacts the blockchain's trustworthiness and could lead to financial loss or destabilization of the token economy.
Mitigation Recommendations
This vulnerability is fixed in klever-go version 1.7.19. Users and operators should upgrade to version 1.7.19 or later to remediate this issue. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed beyond the fix in 1.7.19; verify with vendor advisories for current guidance.
