August 30, 2021 (updated September 13, 2021)

OpenZepplin is a library for smart contract development.Further details about the vulnerability will be disclosed at a later date. As a workaround revoke the executor role from accounts not strictly under the team’s control. We recommend revoking all executors that are not also proposers. When applying this mitigation, ensure there is at least one proposer and executor remaining.
