CVE-2026-123555 Details
Description
Zebra from 2.3.0 before 7.0.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows unauthenticated peers to evade misbehavior scoring by sending transactions or blocks with invalid transparent scripts. Attackers can flood mempool with script-failing transactions or serve forged v5 block bodies with altered scriptSig bytes to exhaust CPU and repeatedly stall block sync.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Zebra versions 2.3.0 prior to 7.0.0. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated peers to evade misbehavior scoring by sending transactions or blocks with invalid transparent scripts. As a result, attackers can flood the mempool with script-failing transactions or serve forged v5 block bodies with altered scriptSig bytes. This exploitation exhausts CPU resources and repeatedly stalls block synchronization.
Users can upgrade to Zebra version 7.0.0, which addresses this vulnerability by ensuring that transparent script verification failures are properly scored and penalized, allowing the node to ban the offending peer.
