CVE-2026-34377: Zebra has a Consensus Failure due to Improper Verification of V5 Transactions

A logic error in Zebra’s transaction verification cache could allow a malicious miner to induce a consensus split. By matching a valid transaction’s txid while providing invalid authorization data, a miner could cause vulnerable Zebra nodes to accept an invalid block, leading to a consensus split from the rest of the Zcash network. To be clear, this would not allow invalid transactions to be accepted but could result in a consensus split between vulnerable Zebra nodes and invulnerable Zebra and Zcashd nodes.
