CVE-2026-41584 Details
Description
ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to zebrad version 4.3.1 and prior to zebra-chain version 6.0.2, Orchard transactions contain a rk field which is a randomized validating key and also an elliptic curve point. The Zcash specification allows the field to be the identity (a "zero" value), however, the orchard crate which is used to verify Orchard proofs would panic when fed a rk with the identity value. Thus an attacker could send a crafted transaction that would make a Zebra node crash. This issue has been patched in zebrad version 4.3.1 and zebra-chain version 6.0.2.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Zcash Zebra nodes, specifically in versions prior to 4.3.1. The issue arises within Orchard transactions, which contain a randomized validating key (rk) that can be an elliptic curve point. The Zcash specification permits this field to be the identity value. However, the 'orchard' crate, used for verifying Orchard proofs, would panic when encountering an rk with the identity value. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a transaction that causes a Zebra node to crash.
Users are advised to upgrade to Zebra version 4.3.1 or later. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
