$ZEC @Zcash vulnerability #4
Zakura 1.2.0 (zakurad) can leave its admin RPC open to the internet with no password.
If the operator turns off cookie authentication and binds the RPC port beyond localhost, anyone who can reach that port can call expensive commands. No login required.
An attacker can ask the node to scan a huge stretch of chain history or pull large address result sets. Those calls burn CPU, memory, and disk I/O. Send enough of them and the node slows down or stops responding while it is still trying to sync and process the network.
This is not the default setup. Default installs keep authentication on and listen only on localhost. The problem appears when both of those protections are removed and the port is reachable.
One misconfigured node is enough. The attack is cheap and repeats cleanly.

It means a researcher found a remote DoS in Zebra (Zcash node software). One unauthenticated `invalidateblock` RPC call targeting the root of the sole non-finalized chain empties internal state (`chain_set`). A later `expect()` then panics and aborts the process (because panic=abort).
The official lightwalletd Docker example exposes RPC on 0.0.0.0 with cookie auth disabled, so the crash is remotely triggerable. Reproduced on zebrad v6.3.0. No consensus break, just node death (and it can be repeated after restart).
$ZEC @Zcash vulnerability #3
Zebra only allows 500 new transactions to download at once. It also tries to limit any single peer to 5 of those slots.
The crawler path never attaches the peer’s identity, so the 5-slot limit does not run. One ordinary peer can dump a long list of fake transaction IDs and fill every slot.
The process stays up. CPU and memory look fine. Real user transactions stop being accepted. Wallets, merchants, and exchanges relying on that node stop seeing transfers go through.
This path was left open after the earlier CVE-2026-52732 fix. zcashd is not affected.
The node looks healthy and is effectively offline for new payments.

$ZEC @Zcash vulnerability #2
Zebra v6.3.0 has a debug endpoint called /filter. If it is turned on and reachable from the network, anyone can hit it. No password.
There is no size limit on the request. In our test a 38 MB upload pushed memory near 2 GB and the operating system killed the process. Restart does not close the hole — the same request works again.
This is not on by default. It only exists when two specific options are enabled and the port is exposed. When those conditions are met, one request is enough to take the node down and keep taking it down.
A live $ZEC node that can be killed on demand is not a reliable part of the network.

see the poc of vuln #1, have fun. iykyk.

bingo. @Kimi_Moonshot k3 got the first hit. one rpc and the zebrad node is dead. easy to hit, you restart it, you hit it again.
unauthenticated invalidateblock on the only non-finalized root empties chain_set. the write worker hits expect(), panic=abort kills the whole process. no pow. the official lightwalletd docker example binds rpc to 0.0.0.0 with cookie auth off, so that config is remotely triggerable.

reproduced on zebrad v6.3.0 in isolated regtest. local repro video dropping next.
keep calm and carry on scanning.
