Another proof verification issue, fixed in February in polkadot-sdk. The PR description is already self-explanatory. https://t.co/Tc5ZSer8a6 For this one I haven't checked deeper and I won't say I'm entirely sure compared with the last one -- it is supposed to be a "fix" and `git blame` tells me that the bug has existed for a long time. Not validating `tx_index` should have gone really bad allowing forged proofs. Probably they deemed that the bug is not exploitable by itself? Anyway, this is three in a row. All proof verification bugs. One in Hyperbridge. Two in Polkadot SDK. If it were me I'll probably consider a full security audit. There seems to be some systematic issues in this specific area.
