TREE NEWS update: A malicious third-party app named “SKR Claim” was submitted to the Solana DApp Store after attackers gained unauthorized access to the DApp publishing portal and altered the App Spotlight and Quests interfaces, Solana Mobile said. The app, which asked users to enter their seed phrases, was displayed for about one hour before being removed and is now being deleted from installed devices. Solana Mobile said it has patched the vulnerability that allowed links to fully unreleased apps and reminded users it never requests seed phrases or crypto assets.

The incident shifts attention from smart-contract risk to the publishing layer itself: an attacker who can alter storefront interfaces can surface a drainer without touching any on-chain protocol, and an hour of exposure is enough for seed phrases to be harvested. It matters most for Solana Mobile's device and DApp Store ecosystem, whose credibility rests on curation as a differentiator from open app stores. The patched link vulnerability and the removal from installed devices address the immediate vector, but whether storefront review and publishing access controls hold up under further probing is the open question.
