Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-22 19:20 – Updated: 2026-04-27 16:22

Summary

nimiq-transaction: Panic via `HistoryTreeProof` length mismatch

Details

Impact

HistoryTreeProof::verify panics on a malformed proof where history.len() != positions.len() due to assert_eq!(history.len(), positions.len()).

The proof object is derived from untrusted p2p responses (ResponseTransactionsProof.proof) and is therefore attacker-controlled at the network boundary until validated. A malicious peer could trigger a crash by returning a crafted inclusion proof with a length mismatch.

Patches

The patch for this vulnerability is included as part of v1.3.0.

Workarounds

No known workarounds know.

Severity

3.1 (Low)

CVE-2026-34067 (GCVE-0-2026-34067)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-04-22 19:52 – Updated: 2026-04-23 14:17

Title

nimiq-transaction vulnerable to panic via `HistoryTreeProof` length mismatch

Summary

nimiq-transaction provides the transaction primitive to be used in Nimiq's Rust implementation. Prior to version 1.3.0, `HistoryTreeProof::verify` panics on a malformed proof where `history.len() != positions.len()` due to `assert_eq!(history.len(), positions.len())`. The proof object is derived from untrusted p2p responses (`ResponseTransactionsProof.proof`) and is therefore attacker-controlled at the network boundary until validated. A malicious peer could trigger a crash by returning a crafted inclusion proof with a length mismatch. The patch for this vulnerability is included as part of v1.3.0. No known workarounds are available.
