The flaw occurs because the guard checker fails to correctly track recursive calls made through a fixpoint's own arguments. This allows for the construction of proofs that appear valid but conclude false propositions, such as 0 = 1, without the use of axioms, tactics, plugins, or unsafe flags. The system reports these malformed proofs as closed under the global context.

Impact

The vulnerability compromises the integrity of formally verified proofs generated by the Rocq Prover. If an attacker produces a false proof in a system relying on Rocq for verification, the security or logic properties guaranteed by that proof are invalidated.

Recommendation

• Identify all projects or systems utilizing the Rocq Prover to generate formal proofs.
• Monitor official Rocq development channels for the release of a patched version.
• Review critical proofs that were generated using affected versions of the Rocq kernel to verify they do not rely on the identified guard checker flaw.

The issue occurs because the guard checker fails to re-examine the recursive tree for an inductive type parameter after a transport (rewrite) operation modifies that parameter. By applying a rewrite along a type equality to a recursive argument, an attacker can bypass the termination checker, enabling the derivation of arbitrary propositions, including 0 = 1.

Impact

The vulnerability invalidates the logical consistency of proofs generated by the Rocq kernel. This allows users to construct proofs that are technically accepted by the kernel but mathematically unsound, which may impact the verification integrity of software, compilers, or cryptographic primitives relying on the Rocq proof assistant.

Recommendation

• Inventory environments utilizing the Rocq (formerly Coq) proof assistant to verify mathematical proofs or extract verified code.
• Monitor official Rocq development channels for patch releases addressing this guard checker deficiency.
• Review critical proofs generated or re-checked by the affected version to ensure they do not rely on rewritten recursive arguments that might have bypassed guard checking.
