Unpatched Bitcoin Lightning nodes face channel-draining bug

Share

Core Lightning maintainers are urging users to install version 26.06.10 as soon as possible to address security flaws involving channels, payment settlement and remote command access. The update verifies peer transaction signatures during dual-funded channel opening and channel splicing, in accordance with the BOLT 2 specification.

Core Lightning says no exploitation has been established, but recommends updating nodes, binding commando authorization credentials to the intended node and replacing credentials that operators cannot account for.
