Urgent Upgrade Required: Core Lightning Nodes Under Attack

The security posture of certain Bitcoin micropayment nodes is currently under threat from malicious actors. While no confirmed losses have been reported yet, there is an urgent call for developers/operators to move away from vulnerable older versions.

Key Technical Points:

• Vulnerability Target: Node operators using version 26.06.7 (or earlier) are specifically being targeted by hackers seeking unpatched entry points.
• Patch Details: A critical patch was released on September 22 involving fixes developed by members of the Bitcoin Red Team and the wider community.
• Compromise Risk: Since August [UTC+0], several nodes linked via BTCPay servers have already shown signs of being compromised.

Note a caution against delaying updates; if staying offline isn't possible without risking exposure to 'pirates', upgrading to v26 own protection anyget way before patches become widely known enough for even more sophisticated attacks.

Counter-arguments & Risks

• While current reports confirm targeting or attempted compromises in some instances, it must be noted that as of now, widespread loss has not been officially confirmed across all networks due to pending lackenss or delayed reporting으로 인한 불확실성(uncertainty).

Bottom Line:
Immediate upgrade to version 26.06.8 is mandatory to secure micropayment infrastructure against active exploitation attempts detected since late summer/August UTC+0.
