nimiq/core-rs-albatross vulnerabilities
3 known CVE vulnerabilities in nimiq/core-rs-albatross, translated and rated.
- CVE-2026-28402High
In versions prior to 1.2.2, the nimiq/core-rs-albatross library has a vulnerability that allows a malicious or compromised validator to publish a macro block proposal with a mismatched `header.body_root`. This can lead to validator crashes due to verification mismatches.
- CVE-2026-34061Medium
nimiq/core-rs-albatross prior to version 1.3.0 contains a vulnerability where an elected validator proposer can send an election macro block whose header.interlink does not match the canonical next interlink. Honest validators accept the proposal because verify_macro_block_proposal() does not check the interlink binding for election blocks. The same finalized block is later rejected by verify_block() with InvalidInterlink, but this happens after Tendermint decides, potentially causing consensus issues.
- CVE-2026-33184High
In nimiq/core-rs-albatross (a Rust implementation of the Nimiq Proof-of-Stake protocol) prior to version 1.3.0, the handshake handler accepts a peer-supplied limit of 0 and stores it unchanged. In the HandshakeAck path, limit 0 returns zero contacts, appearing benign. Later, in the Established state, computing self.peer_list_limit.unwrap() as usize - 1 with limit 0 wraps to usize::MAX, causing a panic when attempting memory allocation.
