Summary
The endCoinFlip function and throwSlammer function of the smart contract implementations for Cryptogs, an Ethereum game, generate random numbers with an old block's hash. Therefore, attackers can predict the random number and always win the game.
Exploit prediction
1.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 69% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-09).
