Unpatched LDK Lightning apps risk Bitcoin theft via reconnect lie


Lightning Development Kit (LDK) has patched a vulnerability that could let a malicious channel peer steal the value of a forwarded payment by lying after reconnecting. Developers building Bitcoin Lightning wallets and payment applications with LDK need to incorporate the fix into the software they deploy.
The October 1-dated v0.2.7 and v0.1.13 security releases address the LDK reconnect vulnerability on the 0.2 and 0.1 branches, respectively. Bitcoin Optech described the fixes in its Oct. 9 newsletter.
