Electrum phát hành bản cập nhật bảo mật 4.8.4 để khắc phục lỗ hổng tin nhắn Onion của Lightning Network

The Huoxing Finance report states that the Bitcoin wallet Electrum announced on X platform the release of version 4.8.4, describing it as another security update. According to the GitHub changelog, this version was released on November 6 and fixed a vulnerability related to Lightning Network onion messages: malformed onion messages from arbitrary sources could cause Electrum to disconnect from its channel peers. Electrum will currently discard all incoming onion messages until practical use cases are implemented. Additionally, the new version fixes issues such as failure to restore some mnemonic phrases from versions prior to v2. Electrum’s previous version, 4.8.3, was released in late October and addressed a critical vulnerability that had already been exploited in the wild.
