CVSS 3.1
8.2 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:NCVE-2020-26896
High (8.2) in lightning network daemon project lightning network daemon. EPSS 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Prior to 0.11.0-beta, LND (Lightning Network Daemon) had a vulnerability in its invoice database. While claiming on-chain a received HTLC output, it didn't verify that the corresponding outgoing off-chain HTLC was already settled before releasing the preimage. In the case of a hash-and-amount collision with an invoice, the preimage for an expected payment was instead released. A malicious peer could have deliberately intercepted an HTLC intended for the victim node, probed the preimage through a colluding relayed HTLC, and stolen the intercepted HTLC. The impact is a loss of funds in certain situations, and a weakening of the victim's receiver privacy.
