Security update has been released for @ensdomains/ens to fix the vulnerability. Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

A user who owns an ENS domain can set a "trapdoor", allowing them to transfer ownership to another user, and later regain ownership without the new owner's consent or awareness.

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 8.7 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4.9 severity.

Solution

A new ENS deployment is being rolled out that fixes this vulnerability in the ENS registry. The registry is newly deployed at [0x00000000000C2E074eC69A0dFb2997BA6C7d2e1e](https://etherscan.io/address/0x00000000000C2E074eC69A0dFb2997BA6C7d2e1e).Workaround:
Do not accept transfers of ENS domains from other users on the old registrar.
