HIGHCVSS 7.5/10

Last modified

CVE-2026-123554 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Zebra zebrad 6.4.0 before 7.0.0 performs quadratic work in the mempool coinbase-maturity check because Transaction::coinbase_spend_restriction() rebuilds the transaction's output list once per spent outpoint. Any connected peer can repeatedly send unsigned transactions with many transparent inputs and outputs, which are rejected without a misbehavior score, to pin verification threads..
