A flaw in Bitcoin<\/a> Lightning software Eclair could let malicious peers wipe out a node\u2019s local channel balance through fees.<\/p>\n

ACINQ released<\/a> Eclair 0.14.3 on Sept. 14 to patch three peer-triggered vulnerabilities that could cause operators to lose or lock funds during channel closures, splicing, and on-the-fly funding.<\/p>\n

The Bitcoin technology company, a contributor to Lightning Network<\/a> development and maker of Eclair and Phoenix Wallet, strongly recommended operators upgrade because malicious nodes could exploit these issues.<\/p>\n

Eclair's patched vulnerabilities<\/h2>\n

The most direct attack involved cooperative channel closures. When Eclair was responsible for the closing fee, an adversarial peer could propose a charge larger than the victim\u2019s local balance. Eclair\u2019s fallback negotiation could accept the proposal, eliminate the operator\u2019s output and effectively send the entire local balance to Bitcoin miners<\/a> as transaction fees.<\/p>\n

The patch now rejects closing-fee proposals above an operator\u2019s configured maximum. Bitcoin Optech described 0.14.3 as a security release addressing vulnerabilities involving channel closing, splicing and on-the-fly funding.<\/p>\n

A second weakness could strand funds during an unfinished splice, a process that changes the transaction funding a Lightning channel without closing it. If Eclair signed first and the peer withheld its signature, the latest channel state could depend on a transaction the victim could not publish.<\/p>\n

\"Infographic<\/p>\n

That setup also created a path for losses on payments still in flight. An attacker could allow the incoming side of a relayed payment to expire, publish an older channel state, and use the payment secret to collect the outgoing leg. Eclair will now force-close using the newest state backed by a fully signed funding transaction.<\/p>\n

The third vulnerability affected Eclair\u2019s on-the-fly funding feature, which can open a channel while forwarding a payment. A malicious wallet<\/a> could manipulate payment-expiry timing to collect the outgoing payment on-chain while the incoming payment expired, leaving the relay operator to absorb the loss.<\/p>\n

Eclair now checks relay fees and expiry buffers before committing funds. The release<\/a> also adds a default 50 satoshis-per-vByte ceiling for automatically estimated channel-opening and splice fees, limiting exposure to bad external fee data.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Lightning operators face widening security pressure<\/h2>\n

The fixes arrive as operators of other Lightning software confront separate attempts to compromise exposed infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n

Critical Bitcoin Lightning bugs exposed nodes to fund theft and restart failure<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/i>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

Earlier this month, Bitcoin payment processor BTCPay Server<\/a> said that it had observed bots repeatedly probing servers where administrators had manually re-enabled external access to LND, another Lightning implementation.<\/p>\n

The attackers targeted an unauthenticated password-change endpoint during a brief window when an LND wallet was locked. If successful, they could replace the wallet password and request an administrator macaroon that could control the node.<\/p>\n

BTCPay responded by introducing unique passwords for LND wallets and blocking unauthenticated wallet-management routes at its network edge. It also advised operators not to manually expose the LND API.<\/p>\n

The incidents point to mounting security pressure across Bitcoin\u2019s Lightning ecosystem as attackers search for software weaknesses they could use to seize or redirect funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
