CVE-2026-104425 PUBLISHED

Zebra before 6.1.0 Batch-Verification Poisoning DoS via Unattributed Pushed Transactions

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 02.10.2026 Published: 02.10.2026 Updated: 02.10.2026

ZcashFoundation Zebra before 6.1.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability that allows unauthenticated peers to degrade block processing by pushing transactions with invalid Orchard proofs without being misbehavior-scored. Attackers can repeatedly push invalid proofs into the shared halo2 batch verifier, forcing honest block proofs onto the slow individual-verification path and slowing block processing roughly sevenfold.
