🚨 LIGHTNING LABS REVEALS HIGH-SEVERITY PAYMENT ISSUE — NOW PATCHED
Lightning Labs has disclosed a high-severity vulnerability impacting older versions of Lightning Terminal, taproot assets, and lnd.
In affected systems, a Lightning invoice could incorrectly display as:
PAID
even when the underlying payment was actually canceled and refunded to the sender.
This poses a clear risk for merchants:
A business might release goods or services based on a false confirmation of payment.
Key points:
• Sender funds remained safe
• Bitcoin’s base layer was unaffected
• Fixes were already rolled out prior to disclosure
• Updated versions of Lightning Terminal include all necessary patches
The fix was released before public announcement, giving node operators time to upgrade securely.
