v1.95.8

1.95.8 (2024-12-03)

Earlier today, a publish-access account was compromised for @solana/web3.js, a JavaScript library that is commonly used by Solana dapps. This allowed an attacker to publish unauthorized and malicious packages that were modified, allowing them to steal private key material and drain funds from dapps, like bots, that handle private keys directly. This issue should not affect non-custodial wallets, as they generally do not expose private keys during transactions. This is not an issue with the Solana protocol itself, but with a specific JavaScript client library and only appears to affect projects that directly handle private keys and that updated within the window of 3:20pm UTC and 8:25pm UTC on Tuesday, December 2, 2024.

These two unauthorized versions (1.95.6 and 1.95.7) were caught within hours and have since been unpublished.

We are asking all Solana app developers to upgrade to version 1.95.8. Developers pinned to latest should also upgrade to 1.95.8.

Developers that suspect they might be compromised should rotate any suspect authority keys, including multisigs, program authorities, server keypairs, and so on.

Today we have dropped the Release Candidate label from @solana/web3.js v2.0.0. We now recommend it for general use.

Read more in this blog post.

The New web3.js - Release Candidate `rc.4`

v2.0.0-rc.4 (2024-11-05)

This version fixes a bug with program error decoding that we introduced in Release Candidate 2. We now expect this, Release Candidate 4, to be the final version before tagging version 2.0 of @solana/web3.js. Please submit any final bug reports before Thursday, November 7th by filing a GitHub Issue.

To install the Release Candidate:

npm install --save @solana/web3.js@rc

• Try the runnable examples in the examples/ directory to get a feel for the API.
• Use the example dApp at https://solana-labs.github.io/solana-web3.js/example/ – source available here – for an example of how to build transactions with the new web3.js for use with wallets.
• Install TypeScript clients for on-chain programs like System and Token, then build a useful application or backend service.

Changelog since Release Candidate rc.3

• #3519 2798061 Thanks @lorisleiva! - Accept bigints in RPC error factories, fixing functions such as isProgramError

Changelog since Release Candidate rc.2

• #3507 45df702 Thanks @mcintyre94! - Fixed a bug where the subcription server's response would not be detected, because of a mismatch in the format of the id. Now all RPC message ids are strings, for avoidance of doubt.
