CVE-2026-52733

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to 4.5.0, a natural or attacker-influenced chain fork can leave stale Sapling and Orchard note-commitment subtree roots in Zebra state. In zebra-state/src/service/nonfinalizedstate/chain.rs, Chain::poptip removed a reverted tip block but did n...

CVE-2026-52829

An unauthenticated remote peer can deterministically crash any synced zebrad node (v4.4.1 and earlier) on the default Linux dual-stack listener by completing a P2P handshake and advertising an invalid mempool transaction; the crash fires after the 30-second misbehavior batch flush due to an IPv4-...

CVE-2026-52829 ZEBRA: IPv4-Mapped Mempool Misbehavior Update Aborts Zebra Address Book

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to 4.5.0, an unauthenticated IPv4 peer can deterministically terminate a synced Zebra node using the default Linux dual-stack listener configuration. The handshake path canonicalized an IPv4-mapped IPv6 PeerSocketAddr such as ::ffff:127.0.0.1 ...

CVE-2026-52736 ZEBRA: Block suppression via NU5 same-header body poisoning of sent-hash cache

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to 4.5.0, a remote unauthenticated P2P peer can stall a Zebra node by racing an invalid block body against the valid canonical body for the same block header hash. ZIP-244 permits the attacker to mutate coinbase scriptSig authentication data...

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to 4.5.0, a remote unauthenticated P2P peer can stall a Zebra node by racing an invalid block body against the valid canonical body for the same block header hash. ZIP-244 permits the attacker to mutate coinbase scriptSig authentication data...

CVE-2026-52738 ZEBRA: Finalized address balance credit-first overflow on consensus-valid blocks

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to 4.5.0, a consensus-valid block containing a long chain of transparent self-spends to one address can permanently halt Zebra nodes. In zebra-state/src/service/finalizedstate/zebradb/transparent.rs, the finalized-state writer originally appli...

CVE-2026-52738

Zebra (a Zcash node written in Rust) versions up to v4.4.1 are vulnerable to a persistent chain halt . The finalized-state writer in transparent.rs applies all credits before debits within a block, so a consensus-valid block with a long chain of transparent self-spends to one address can push the...

CVE-2026-52734 ZEBRA: Unbounded memory leak in mempool download pipeline via timeout path cancel_handles retention

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to 4.5.0, an unauthenticated P2P peer can cause the mempool download pipeline to retain transactions after verification reaches the outer RATELIMITDELAY timeout. In zebrad/src/components/mempool/downloads.rs, Downloads::pollnext removed...

CVE-2026-54496

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to zebrad 5.0.0, halo2gadgets 0.5.0, orchard 0.14.0, zcashprimitives 0.28.0, and zcashd 6.20.0, the variable-base scalar multiplication gadget in halo2gadgets/src/ecc/chip/mul/incomplete.rs used assignadvice for the base point without a copy...

CVE-2026-54496 Missing copy constraint in halo2_gadgets variable-base scalar multiplication allows under-constrained base, breaking Orchard Action circuit soundness

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to zebrad 5.0.0, halo2gadgets 0.5.0, orchard 0.14.0, zcashprimitives 0.28.0, and zcashd 6.20.0, the variable-base scalar multiplication gadget in halo2gadgets/src/ecc/chip/mul/incomplete.rs used assignadvice for the base point without a copy...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ZEBRA versions prior to 4.4.2 Description A consensus-valid block containing a long chain of transparent self-spends to a single address can cause Zebra nodes to permanently halt. In the file zebra-state/src/service/finalized state/zebra...

PT-2026-55471

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Zebra versions prior to 4.4.2 Description Zebra can accept blocks that the zcashd reference implementation rejects due to a discrepancy in how P2SH Pay-to-Script-Hash signature-operation counters handle disabled opcodes. In the...

Critical Zcash Vulnerability Found and Fixed

If you're a user--owner?--of this cryptocurrency, this is important: On May 29, the security researcher Taylor Hornby found a critical vulnerability in Zcash Orchard privacy pool using Claude Opus 4.8. The Zcash team hired Hornby specifically to look for this kind of issue. He found one fast enou...

CVE-2026-44498

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to version 4.4.0, Zebra's block validator undercounts transparent signature operations against the 20000-sigop block limit MAXBLOCKSIGOPS, allowing it to accept blocks that zcashd rejects with bad-blk-sigops. A miner who produces such a block...

CVE-2026-41584

ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to zebrad version 4.3.1 and prior to zebra-chain version 6.0.2, Orchard transactions contain a rk field which is a randomized validating key and also an elliptic curve point. The Zcash specification allows the field to be the identity a "zero"...

CVE-2026-44499

ZEBRA (Zcash node, Rust) before 4.4.0 contains a composite DoS in the block discovery pipeline. An unauthenticated remote attacker can, via a single TCP connection, exploit three independent weaknesses in the gossip, syncer, and download subsystems to create a monotonically growing block deficit ...
