Abstract generation in progress
ME News Report, April 18 (UTC+8), Zcash has released zcashd v6.12.1, and the Zcash Foundation has released Zebra v4.3.1 to fix four vulnerabilities, including an Orchard operation encoding issue. This issue could cause node crashes and pose a related risk of consensus divergence between two types of clients. Mining pools running these two implementations have deployed the fixes. Developers stated there is no evidence that these vulnerabilities have been exploited, user funds and privacy remain unaffected, and there is no possibility of ZEC supply inflation. Users are advised to upgrade. (Source: MLion)

Zcashd and Zebra run in parallel, and the ecosystem is indeed mature.

The mining pool is quick; it's already fixed.

Privacy coins have a lot of technical debt.

Zcash has always been quite transparent about vulnerability disclosures.
