Klever-Go is the Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. Prior to 1.7.17, KVM exposes `ExecuteReadOnlyWithTypedArguments` as a read-only execution mechanism. The hook saves the previous read-only state, sets `runtime.SetReadOnly(true)`, executes the destination context, and then restores the previous read-only state. However, the indirect contract delete and upgrade paths do not reject execution when `runtime.ReadOnly()` is true. As a result, a contract reached through read-only execution can call the production delete hook for a target contract it owns. The delete path appends the target address to `vmOutput.DeletedAccounts`, the output context merges `DeletedAccounts` into the caller output, and the smart contract processor later processes the VM output by deleting accounts listed in that field. The root cause is that read-only mode is applied as runtime state, but not enforced by the state-changing delete and upgrade host-core paths. This breaks the expected isolation boundary for workflows that rely on read-only calls to inspect another contract without allowing that callee to produce state-changing VM output. The issue is fixed in v1.7.17. Contract delete and upgrade host-core paths now reject execution when `runtime.ReadOnly()` is true. The invariant is regression-tested for delete, upgrade, storage writes, value transfers, and any VM output field that can later mutate chain state.

GHSA-jc6w-wmfc-fh33 — Klever-Go KVM read-only execution can commit contract delete and upgrade side effects

Affected: Go: github.com/klever-io/klever-go

## Publisher note

**Fixed in `v1.7.17`.** Operators running `< v1.7.17` should upgrade. Contract delete and upgrade host-core paths now reject execution when `runtime.ReadOnly()` is true. The invariant is regression-tested for delete, upgrade, storage writes, value transfers, and any VM output field that can later mutate chain state.

Patch commits on `develop`: 333f6ec9, 68b94a40 (merged from private fork associated with the original advisory).

This advisory was originally filed jointly with a separate P2P throttler DoS finding, now tracked under [GHSA-74m6-4hjp-7226](https://github.com/klever-io/klever-go/security/advisories/GHSA-74m6-4hjp-7226) so each issue receives its own CVE.

The original disclosure from @LoGGGG240211 follows verbatim, including the embedded proof-of-concept source.
