Short explanation
Electrum prior to version 4.8.3 fails to verify signatures of wallet-owned inputs in unconfirmed mempool transactions [S0]. This allows malicious servers to replace broadcast transactions and trick users into RBF fee-bumping [S0].
This critical vulnerability enables attackers to intercept user transactions and manipulate users into signing unauthorized transactions, posing severe security risks [S0].
What should be done?
- Update Electrum to version 4.8.3 or later [S0].
- Follow vendor security advisories for updates [S0].
Chain of evidence and sources
Electrum 4.8.3 öncesi sürümler, onaylanmamış mempool işlemlerindeki cüzdan sahibi girdilerin imzalarını doğrulayamaz.
Saldırganlar, yeni yayınlanan işlemleri çakışan kopyalarla değiştirerek kullanıcıları RBF ücret artırımına yönlendirebilir.
Show the technical text from the sources
Electrum before 4.8.3 fails to verify signatures of wallet-owned inputs in unconfirmed mempool transactions, allowing malicious servers to replace a just-broadcast transaction with a conflicting one. Attackers can swallow the user's transaction and display an invalid zero-fee copy paying an attacker address, tricking users into RBF fee-bumping and signing it.
