MTZK: Testing and Exploring Bugs in Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Compilers describes a metamorphic testing framework that mutates ZK DSL inputs to detect incorrect compilations in ZK compilers; the evaluation across four industrial compilers uncovered 21 bugs (15 patched) and shows potential exploit scenarios where invalid proofs could be accepted, creating security and financial risks for blockchain/privacy-preserving systems.
