A critical censorship vulnerability in Optimism's sequencer was discovered where the absence of chain ID validation in the rate limiter allowed attackers to replay signed transactions from other chains to indefinitely rate-limit specific accounts on Optimism Mainnet, affecting ~1.3 million accounts including major protocols and bridge operators. The bug enabled selective transaction censorship without on-chain evidence, posing significant risk to network availability and DeFi operations.
