Problem
As mentioned in #444 (comment),
IdlCreateAccounts
instruction is permissionless, meaning anyone can claim the IDL authority of a program if it hasn't yet been claimed:anchor/lang/syn/src/codegen/program/idl.rs
Lines 39 to 41 in be3ab99
Summary of changes
Require
from
account ofIdlCreateAccounts
to be the program authority.Note: This only changes the initial IDL creation instruction authority, meaning any existing IDL authority won't be affected by this change. Ideally, the IDL authority and the program deploy authority should be the same, but given that could break existing programs, it makes more sense to only let the IDL account be initialized by the program deploy authority.
Resolves #444
