zebrad vulnerable to getblocks/getheaders locator CPU amplification via uncapped vector length

The read_getblocks and read_getheaders codec paths accepted block locator vectors up to approximately 65,535 entries (the generic TrustedPreallocate ceiling derived from MAX_PROTOCOL_MESSAGE_LEN), rather than the protocol-specification limit of 101 entries (matching zcashd's MAX_LOCATOR_SZ). Each entry in the locator vector triggers a per-hash chain lookup (HashMap::contains_key + RocksDB::contains_hash) in find_chain_intersection on a tokio blocking-pool thread. A single maximally-sized getblocks message occupies one blocking-pool thread for approximately 10–65ms. Under sustained load from …

zebrad vulnerable to full node denial of service via crafted Sapling receiver in z_listunifiedreceivers

The z_listunifiedreceivers RPC handler panics when processing a structurally valid Unified Address whose Sapling receiver carries 43 bytes that fail cryptographic validation (sapling_crypto::PaymentAddress::from_bytes returns None for non-subgroup Jubjub points). The handler calls .expect("using data already decoded as valid") on the fallible result. Because Zebra's release profile sets panic = "abort", the panic terminates the entire node process, not just the RPC task.

zebrad has unbounded memory leak in mempool download pipeline via timeout path cancel_handles retention

The mempool download pipeline's cancel_handles map retains entries for transactions whose verification times out at the outer RATE_LIMIT_DELAY (73-second) boundary. The tokio::time::error::Elapsed error carries no payload, so the transaction ID is unrecoverable and the corresponding cancel_handles entry (including the full Gossip::Tx(UnminedTx), up to ~2 MB) is never removed. Entries accumulate monotonically with no upper bound or garbage collection, leading to eventual out-of-memory process termination.

zebrad has persistent on-disk corruption of Sapling/Orchard subtree roots after chain fork via pop_tip

When pop_tip removes the tip block during a chain fork, stale Sapling and Orchard note commitment subtree root data is retained in the in-memory non-finalized state. When the chain subsequently finalizes, this stale data is written to the persistent RocksDB state. The corrupted subtree root history affects z_getsubtreesbyindex (used by lightwalletd for wallet synchronization) and could affect future chain verification that depends on correct subtree roots.

zebrad has mempool transaction admission denial via single-peer inbound queue saturation

A single unauthenticated P2P peer can monopolize all 25 inbound mempool download/verification slots (MAX_INBOUND_CONCURRENCY) by advertising fake transaction IDs. While the slots are occupied, all other inbound transactions from honest peers and local RPC sendrawtransaction calls are rejected with MempoolError::FullQueue. The attacker peer is never scored for misbehavior and is not disconnected, allowing sustained denial of mempool admission.

Two LiteLLM versions published containing credential harvesting malware

After an API Token exposure from an exploited trivy dependency, two new releases of litellm were uploaded to PyPI containing automatically activated malware, harvesting sensitive credentials and files, and exfiltrating to a remote API. Anyone who has installed and run the project should assume any credentials available to litellm environment may have been exposed, and revoke/rotate thema ccordingly.
