Users are being urged to withdraw their assets right away due to a serious security incident that has occurred within the Gnosis ecosystem.
Concerns regarding the security of user funds were raised when blockchain security company PeckShieldAlert discovered an active exploit impacting Gnosis Pay. Martin Köppelmann, a co-founder of Gnosis, publicly urged users to remove all funds held through Gnosis Pay, amplifying the warning.
The problem, according to Köppelmann, is caused by a flaw in the platform's delay module, which is a feature intended to give transactions and account operations an extra degree of security.
"Unfortunately, I must advise that all funds (EURe and GNO) be withdrawn. There is a bug in the delay module that could affect you"

Both GNO, the native token of the Gnosis ecosystem, and EURe, a stablecoin backed by the euro, appear to be affected by the vulnerability.
Project representatives have stressed that users should take immediate action rather than waiting for more technical details, even though the full scope of the exploit has not yet been revealed. According to PeckShieldAlert, the vulnerability may already be being exploited by attackers.
Quick action is frequently essential to preventing losses in incidents involving live exploits, especially when attackers can take advantage of vulnerabilities before patches or mitigation measures are fully implemented.
Gnosis Pay, which connects blockchain-based assets with conventional payment services, has become popular among consumers looking to use payment cards and associated financial tools to spend cryptocurrency assets. Therefore, a large number of users on the platform may be impacted by the latest security flaw.
As of this writing, no formal estimate of the impacted funds or accounts has been made public. As the investigation and mitigation efforts continue, the Gnosis team is anticipated to provide more updates.
