CVE-2026-55763 — Klever-Go: Percentage-transfer royalty skips the source debit at exactly-100% splits
Klever-Go is the Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. Prior to 1.7.19, processPercentageRoyaltiesTransfer in core/kapp/accounts/accounts.go calls SubFromBalance after the split loop and after the royaltiesToPay <= 0 early return. computeSplitRoyalties rejects only when splitToPay > royaltiesToPay, so a valid PercentTransferPercentage = 10000 split consumes exactly 100 percent of the royalty pool, sets royaltiesToPay to zero, and returns before the source account is debited. The split recipient receives the full royaltyAmount while the sender pays nothing and the supply counter is not updated, allowing unbounded off-the-books inflation of the transferred KDA. A KDA owner must configure a TransferPercentage royalty with a 100 percent split, after which any holder's transfer of the asset triggers the mint; the sibling processFixedRoyaltiesTransfer path is not affected because it debits the source before distribution. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.19.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.5% (30-day exploitation probability)+6
- Technical severity (high)+6
- CISA SSVC: exploitation "poc"+5
- Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Klever-io Klever-go).
- The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
Affected scope
Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-55763 is "Klever-Go: Percentage-transfer royalty skips the source debit at exactly-100% splits", rated High. It affects Klever-go (Klever-io); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 8.7 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.51% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
