Ethereum’s (ETH) approaching Constantinople upgrade activates vectors for reentrancy attacks, as per ChainSecurity – a smart contract auditing platform, according to a Medium report on January 15, 2019. A reentrancy attack engages a particular function in a smart contract to be called several times before the smart contract is completely performed.

As per ChainSecurity, post-Constantinople upgrade, the functions “address.transfer(….)” & “address.send(….) are susceptible to attack in Solidity smart contracts. Employing these functions, a malicious attacker can call an attack function on his individual smart contract and slip other user’s ETHs out of the contract.

unfortunately the Ethereum developers are too caught up into forcing a hard fork as fast as they can on their centralized network that they are blinded to everything else and others have to find their bugs and prevent them from pushing their flaws on top of the mess they have already made in the past couple of years because of their greed for making more money!
