Bitcoin Core Reveals Three Vulnerabilities: Blocked Miners and Thousands of Nodes Too Trusting of Tor

Share

Bitcoin Core developers published three security advisories on Tuesday, November 10, covering vulnerabilities that had been fixed for more than a year. The most serious, CVE-2025-62861, could prevent miners from building valid blocks after a chain reorganization until the software was restarted. CVE-2025-62860 caused all incoming Tor connections to be treated as trusted when the proxy address was included in a whitelist, exposing thousands of nodes on the main network. CVE-2025-62859 allowed a malicious peer to halt a victim’s block processing for ten minutes by being the first to announce a compact block. Bitcoin Core released fixes in versions 28.3, 29.2 and 30.0, while version 32.1, published on October 27, is the latest stable release with all the corrections.
