Proposal Hijacking

Proposal hijacking is the act of taking over a governance proposal process to insert malicious actions. This can involve modifying the code of the proposed changes or tricking voters into approving something they do not understand.

By gaining control over the proposal creation process, an attacker can bypass the intended scrutiny of the community. This is a sophisticated social and technical attack.

It relies on exploiting the trust placed in the proposal submission process. Ensuring transparency and rigorous review of all proposals is the primary defense.
