Validation Bypass

Overview

Versions of slp-validate prior to 1.0.1 are vulnerable to a validation bypass. Bitcoin scripts may cause the validation result from slp-validate to differ from the specified SLP consensus. This allows an attacker to create a Bitcoin script that causes a hard-fork from the SLP consensus.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 1.0.1 or later.
