The change is defensive: it rejects invalid invoices rather than letting them propagate, which helps prevent payment failures, confusion, or minor abuse. Signature verification is explicitly left for a future patch, so this is not a complete security fix on its own.
ci: split PR severity workflow into classify and apply jobs
In this commit, we separate the two concerns in the PR severity workflow: working out the severity, and applying it. The classify job inspects the PR and records its verdict (the severity level, whether to comment, and the comment body) to a few files. A second apply job reads those files and does the mechanical work of setting the label and posting the comment.
Pulling the classification apart from the application keeps each job doing one thing and makes the flow easier to follow. The apply job takes the severity the classifier picked and checks it against the known set before touching a label, and posts the comment from a file via --body-file so the body is handled as plain data. We also turn off checkout credential persistence, since neither job needs a git credential on disk.

This commit is a hardening and cleanup of a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically labels pull requests by severity. It does not change any LND node code, wallet logic, or network protocol. Instead, it splits the workflow into two jobs: a read-only 'classify' job that runs an AI model to decide the severity, and a separate 'apply' job that actually sets the label and posts the comment. The change reduces security risk by keeping write permissions out of the job that processes untrusted pull-request text, pins the external AI action to a fixed commit hash, disables unnecessary git credentials, and adds input sanitization for the model-generated comment. It is a defensive improvement, not a vulnerability fix.
Security candidatelnwallet+walletrpc: add SubmitPackage for v3 CPFP package relayby Elle Mouton · f55c0565 · Jun 30, 2026 · 17 filesMessage 73 · AdequateLow 30Details

lnwallet+walletrpc: add SubmitPackage for v3 CPFP package relay
Add SubmitPackage to the lnwallet.WalletController interface and a new WalletKit.SubmitPackage RPC, so a client of lnd can relay a package of related transactions (parents first, child last) through lnd's own chain connection. This lets a zero-fee v3/TRUC parent be accepted via its fee-paying CPFP child without the caller needing a separate connection to the chain backend.
BtcWallet.SubmitPackage forwards to the chain backend's submitpackage for bitcoind/btcd, and broadcasts each transaction individually for neutrino (no mempool; relies on the peer's 1p1c package relay). The WalletKit handler maps the proto request/response to the btcjson result and is gated by the onchain:write macaroon permission. Mock controllers and the no-chain backend gain trivial implementations.

This commit adds a new RPC called SubmitPackage to LND's WalletKit. It lets users submit a group of related Bitcoin transactions together so a zero-fee parent can be accepted because a later child transaction pays its fee. This is a feature addition, not a fix for a known vulnerability. The code is careful about limits and permissions, but it does expose a new on-chain write capability that could be misused if an attacker already has a valid macaroon.
bolt12: validate InvoiceRequest per BOLT 12 reader/writer requirements
ValidateInvoiceRequestRead and ValidateInvoiceRequestWrite enforce the structural BOLT 12 requirements an invoice request can be checked against on its own. The reader validates incoming requests. The writer catches out-of-range types in decoded-then-mutated requests before they leave the local boundary. Type 240 carries the signature and sits outside the allowed range by spec design. Both validators skip it during the range scan.
Two reader MUSTs are deferred. Schnorr signature verification against the merkle root keyed by invreq_payer_id lands with the Invoice message, where the merkle and signing primitives are shared. Offer cross-validation requires an Offer reference the structural validator does not carry, and lands in the bolt12handler layer where both the request and the stored Offer are in scope.

multi: upgrade to btcd v2 modules
Migrate all btcd dependencies to the new per-package v2 modules (wire/v2, txscript/v2, chaincfg/v2, chainhash/v2, btcutil/v2, psbt/v2, btcec/v2) introduced by btcd v0.26.0, and pin the tagged ecosystem versions: btcwallet v0.17.0, neutrino v0.18.0 and lightning-onion v1.4.0.
The bulk of the import rewrite was produced by the scripted diff from https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd/pull/2547 (followed by 'make rpc'). The address symbols that moved out of btcutil into the new address package are imported as btcaddr where a local "address" variable would otherwise shadow them. The go.mod/go.sum updates and the remaining manual compilation fixes are folded into this single commit so it builds on its own (the migration was previously split into a reproducible scripted-diff plus follow-ups, intended to be squashed on merge).

This is a large dependency upgrade for the LND Lightning node software. It moves LND from older btcd Bitcoin library packages to new 'v2' packages and updates related wallet and network libraries. The commit is almost entirely mechanical import-path changes and version bumps. It does not appear to fix a specific known security bug on its own, but it pulls in newer upstream versions that may contain security fixes. Because the change touches 605 files and many core Bitcoin-handling modules, any mistake in the migration could affect transaction parsing, address handling, or cryptographic operations, so it should be reviewed and tested carefully.
Security candidatediscovery: fix panic in DNS fallback SRV lookupby Erick Cestari · 2a3642c6 · Jun 23, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 85 · StrongLow 47Details
Commit message · Erick Cestari
discovery: fix panic in DNS fallback SRV lookup
The fallback SRV lookup type-asserted each DNS Answer record to *dns.SRV unconditionally. If the response contains a non-SRV record (e.g. an A or CNAME), the type assertion panics and crashes the daemon. Use the comma-ok form to skip non-SRV records instead.
Also guard against an empty LookupHost result for the shim, which would otherwise panic on an out-of-bounds index into addrs.
This is safe to discuss and fix in public. The bug is very unlikely to be exploitable: triggering it requires either a DNS seeder to serve a malformed response, or an on-path MITM injecting one (the fallback response is unauthenticated). A malicious seeder already has far more direct ways to disrupt a node, and a MITM attack is hard to mount, so the panic does not meaningfully widen the attack surface.

This commit fixes a bug in LND's DNS seed bootstrap code that could crash the node. The code assumed every record in a DNS response was an SRV record, so a non-SRV record (like a normal A or CNAME record) would cause a panic. The fix safely skips non-SRV records and also handles cases where the DNS lookup returns no addresses at all. The commit message says the bug is hard to exploit because it requires a malicious DNS server or a network attacker, and such attackers already have easier ways to disrupt a node.

The workaround forced the use of a newer, fixed version of a compression library (xz) to avoid a known historical vulnerability. The commit message says the library is no longer used by this part of the project, so the workaround is no longer needed. By itself, removing the workaround does not introduce a vulnerability, but it means the project now relies on the normal dependency resolution to pick a safe version elsewhere.

mod: bump kvdb to v1.5.1
Move from kvdb/v1.5.0 to the freshly tagged kvdb/v1.5.1, which points at current master HEAD. The new tag includes the kvdb submodule's grpc floor bump to v1.79.3 (173fd5147) and the otel SDK bump past the GO-2026-4394 vulnerability (9978f4d33).
The root lnd module already requires the newer grpc and otel versions, so this bump is effectively a relabel with no transitive impact on the root build. But it keeps downstream consumers that import lnd/kvdb directly from picking up v1.5.0 and pulling in the vulnerable otel SDK through kvdb's submodule go.mod.

multi: drop tor v2 onion production, keep wire codec faithful
Tor stopped serving v2 onion services in October 2021; lnd should not produce v2 addresses anymore, but it must still verify signatures on and re-broadcast peer NodeAnnouncement messages that carry v2 entries.
Stop accepting v2 as configuration input (lncfg), strip the legacy `--tor.v2` flag from the sample config, and remove the `tor.OnionHostToFakeIP` helper. Operator entry points (`--externalip`, `--listen`, `lncli connect`, `lncli wtclient towers add`) fail fast on a v2 `.onion` string, so upgrading nodes must remove any v2 entry from `lnd.conf` before lnd will start.
Filter persisted v2 state before use without rewriting on-disk records: the self-announcement builder strips any v2 entry inherited from the stored self-node; the watchtower client drops v2 entries from each persisted tower's address list (skipping the tower entirely if no non-v2 address remains); the autopilot connector, graph bootstrapper, and static-channel backup restore paths skip v2 entries before attempting outbound dials. Restrict the Tor controller's ADD_ONION path to v3 keys, including the encrypted on-disk legacy-key fallback.
For inbound announcements, keep the wire codec wire-faithful: `lnwire.WriteOnionAddr`, `graph/db.encodeOnionAddr`, and the matching decoders round-trip v2 bytes so `DataToSign` reproduces the bytes the remote peer signed, signature validation succeeds, and the announcement is persisted to the graph DB and re-broadcast across restarts byte-for- byte. RPC surfaces continue to expose the full address set so external tools can independently reproduce and verify the signed bytes.
Add a netann regression test that signs a [v3, v2, ipv4] announcement, round-trips it through Encode/Decode, verifies the signature, and confirms the resulting models.Node preserves the v2 entry. Add a graph bootstrapper test asserting v2 entries are skipped while v3 and plain TCP entries on the same node still surface as bootstrap candidates.

This commit removes support for obsolete Tor v2 onion addresses from the Lightning Network Daemon (lnd). Tor v2 services were shut down by the Tor network in October 2021, so lnd will no longer create, accept, or dial v2 onion addresses. However, it still keeps the ability to store and re-broadcast v2 addresses that appear in messages from other nodes, because doing otherwise would break signature verification on those older announcements. The change is a cleanup and hardening patch rather than a fix for an active security vulnerability.
lnwallet/rpcwallet: accept zero-value WitnessUtxo entries in remote-sign prep
Before forwarding a SignOutputRaw request to the remote signer instance, remoteSign rebuilds a PSBT from the unsigned transaction and annotates every input with a WitnessUtxo (so the downstream walletkit.SignPsbt call accepts it — taproot sighash computation requires the prev output of every input, not just the one being signed).
For non-signed inputs the prep stage first asks the watch-only wallet about the outpoint via FetchOutpointInfo, then — when the wallet does not own or track the outpoint — falls back to the sign descriptor's PrevOutputFetcher. The fallback previously required `utxo.Value != 0`, which silently dropped legitimate zero-value entries on the floor and left the corresponding PSBT input bare.
The walletkit.SignPsbt entry point on the remote signer then rejected the PSBT with "input (index=N) doesn't specify any UTXO info" because input N had neither a WitnessUtxo nor a NonWitnessUtxo annotation.
BIP-322 (signing virtual transactions for message attestation) is the canonical hitter: its to_spend output is mandated by the BIP to be exactly value=0 with the message commitment as pk_script, and that output is referenced as input 0 of every BIP-322 to_sign transaction. Any caller that drives a BIP-322 sign through a remote-signer LND deployment was failing for this reason.
The validation we actually want is that the fetched prev output is representable as a usable WitnessUtxo: non-nil and with a non-empty pk_script. Drop the Value check; the zero-value case is well-formed and the resulting PSBT input will serialize cleanly. The fetched-but- empty-pk_script case continues to be rejected (a WitnessUtxo with empty PkScript is malformed at PSBT serialization), and the warning log when no fallback resolves the outpoint is preserved verbatim.
Lift the WitnessUtxo-population loop out of remoteSign into a package-level helper so the resolution policy is unit-testable without spinning up a real wallet + remote signer pair. The helper takes a fetchOutpointInfoFn callback that mirrors lnwallet.WalletController.FetchOutpointInfo. No behavior change for the wallet-owns-it path or the no-fallback path.

This commit fixes a bug in LND's remote-signing setup where zero-value previous transaction outputs were wrongly ignored when preparing a PSBT for a remote signer. The most concrete affected use case is BIP-322 message attestation, where the protocol requires a zero-value output. Because of the bug, the remote signer would refuse to sign, causing a functional failure rather than a loss of funds. The patch removes the mistaken zero-value check and adds a unit-testable helper function.

lnwallet/rpcwallet: add unit tests for WitnessUtxo population helper
Cover the four resolution branches plus the BIP-322 regression case:
- wallet-owns-it: FetchOutpointInfo returns a Utxo, helper writes the matching WitnessUtxo into the PSBT input. - external-fallback: wallet returns ErrNotMine, helper writes the WitnessUtxo from the sign descriptor's PrevOutputFetcher. - zero-value-fallback: same as above with the fetched entry's Value set to zero. This is the BIP-322 to_spend shape (input 0 of every BIP-322 to_sign references a virtual prev whose Value is mandated to be zero); the helper must populate the WitnessUtxo rather than silently skip it. - no-fallback: wallet returns ErrNotMine and no PrevOutputFetcher is provided; the helper leaves the input bare and the warning log fires (asserted only by absence of a populated WitnessUtxo). - empty-pk_script-fallback: the fetcher returns a non-nil entry with an empty PkScript; the helper rejects it as unusable (the PSBT WitnessUtxo serializer requires a non-empty script) and leaves the input bare.
The signed input (signDesc.InputIndex) is intentionally left untouched by the helper — that input is the one the caller's main path will populate later — and the tests cross-check that invariant on the wallet-owns-it case.

peer: gate onion message ingress on having an open channel
Onion message forwarding is an unpaid side channel. Without any peer qualification the byte-bucket limiters added in the previous commits are our only defense against a Sybil attacker: an attacker that can cheaply spin up N identities and burn a full per-peer byte budget on each one saturates the global bucket and converts the aggregate cap into a service-denial primitive against legitimate channel peers. This was raised on PR review — the per-peer cap is good, but the global cap on its own is a Sybil multiplier if peer identity is free. The proper fix is to make new identities cost real capital, which is what requiring a funded channel does.
This commit adds a channel-presence gate as the first check in allowOnionMessage, ahead of both the per-peer and the global rate limiters. Messages from peers that do not have at least one fully open channel with us are dropped with a new dropReasonNoChannel sentinel and never allocate any rate limiter state — the gate runs before either limiter is consulted, so no-channel peers cannot burn tokens on any bucket. Pending channels are deliberately excluded from the check: they are represented as nil values in the activeChannels map, are cheap to open and prone to getting stuck, and so do not provide the capital-cost guarantee the Sybil defense depends on. Existing Brontide cleanup paths (StopOnionActorIfExists, OnionPeerLimiter.Forget) already handle teardown on peer disconnect; nothing new is needed there because the gate keeps no-channel peers from ever allocating per-peer state in the first place.
For the hot path we cannot afford to iterate the activeChannels registry on every incoming onion message, so Brontide now carries a numActiveChans atomic.Int32 that shadows the count of non-pending entries in activeChannels. hasActiveChannels is a single atomic Load and is therefore O(1). The counter is maintained in lockstep with activeChannels at every mutation site: loadActiveChannels increments it as it populates the registry during Start(); addActiveChannel uses a new lnutils.SyncMap.Swap method (a thin typed wrapper around sync.Map.Swap) to atomically replace any prior entry so that both brand-new channels and pending-to-active promotions bump the counter by exactly one; WipeChannel and handleRemovePendingChannel both use LoadAndDelete so they can inspect the prior value and only decrement when the removed entry was non-nil. Under race, this keeps the counter and the map consistent even when RPC WipeChannel races with the channelManager goroutine.
The accompanying unit tests cover: the no-channel drop path at the allowOnionMessage level, asserting that neither the global stub counter nor the per-peer limiter's dropped counter move when the gate fires; the subsequent channel-gained path on the same peer, asserting the same message is accepted once hasChannel flips; and a focused Brontide-level test that walks the counter through initial emptiness, a pending-only state (counter must stay at zero), a pending-to-active promotion via direct Store + Add, the pending delete path through handleRemovePendingChannel (must not underflow), and the active delete path through LoadAndDelete + Add(-1) that WipeChannel uses internally. Running with -race confirms the Swap/LoadAndDelete patterns keep the counter and the map in sync under concurrent access.

This change closes a denial-of-service weakness in LND's onion-message forwarding. Previously, an attacker could create unlimited free peer identities and burn through the global byte-budget reserved for onion messages, starving real peers. The patch now requires a peer to share at least one funded, fully open Lightning channel before any onion message is accepted, so each attacker identity must lock up real bitcoin. It also adds a fast O(1) atomic counter so this check does not slow down every incoming message.
Regenerate `test_vectors_taproot.json` to reflect the corrected test vector generator. Changes include actual 32-byte MuSig2 partial signatures (replacing the dummy 8-byte DER stubs), 66-byte public nonces for both local and remote parties, corrected HTLC sig-to- transaction mapping sorted by BIP 69 output index, proper HTLC-success witness layout with preimage in the correct witness slot, and the updated trimming test case which now trims 3 of the 5 test HTLCs below the 2500 sat dust limit (down from 5 HTLC outputs to 2).

This commit only updates a single JSON file of test vectors for taproot Lightning channels. It replaces placeholder signature data with realistic values, fixes the order of test transactions, and adjusts a dust-limit test case. There is no change to production wallet or node code, so it does not directly affect live funds or network security. It is essentially a correction to the project's test fixtures.

lnwallet: add secret nonce stashing to MusigSession for test vectors
In this commit, we add the ability for MusigSession to capture and expose the raw 97-byte MuSig2 secret nonce generated during JIT signing nonce creation. This is gated behind the customNonceRand option, so it only activates in test vector generation mode.
The stashed secret nonce is consumed on read (cleared after access) to prevent accidental nonce reuse. This enables interop test vectors to include the raw secret nonces, allowing other implementations to replay the MuSig2 signing process without needing to match the exact nonce derivation algorithm used by btcd's musig2 library.

This commit adds a test-only feature that lets LND temporarily save the secret random number (nonce) used in MuSig2 signing when running in a special test-vector generation mode. The saved value is automatically erased after one read to prevent accidental reuse. There is no indication this feature is active in normal production code, and the change is explicitly described as being for interoperability test vectors only.
lnwallet: regenerate test vectors with BIP-340 HTLC signatures
Regenerate the test vector JSON with HTLC second-level transaction signatures that use BIP-340 standard nonce derivation (zero auxrand) instead of RFC6979. This makes the HTLC signatures reproducible across different Schnorr implementations. The commitment transaction MuSig2 signatures are unchanged.

No production wallet code, protocol logic, or user-facing behavior is changed. There is no security vulnerability here.
lnwallet: add 3rd-party signature verification for taproot test vectors
In this commit, we add a `signature_verification` sub-test to the taproot test vector verifier that performs full script execution against both the commitment transaction and all HTLC resolution transactions.
This uses `txscript.NewEngine` to execute the taproot witness programs exactly as a Bitcoin node would, providing an independent check that all signatures in the test vectors are cryptographically valid. For the commitment transaction, we verify its witness against the funding output pkScript. For each HTLC resolution transaction, we verify its witness against the corresponding commitment output it spends.
This catches issues that the structural comparison tests (hex matching) cannot: for instance, a transaction can have the correct structure but carry an invalid signature if the sighash was computed over the wrong prevout or if the wrong key was used for signing. Running the full script engine also validates the control block, the tap leaf hash, and the overall taproot spend path.

lnwallet: add taproot channel test vector generator
In this commit, we add a test vector generator and verifier for taproot channel constructions. All vectors are derived deterministically from a single 32-byte seed using SHA256(seed || label) for key derivation, ensuring any implementation can reproduce them independently.
The generator covers two areas:
Script vectors decompose the full tapscript trees for every output type: funding (MuSig2 aggregated key), to_local (delay + revocation leaves), to_remote (1-block CSV leaf), anchors (OP_16 OP_CSV), offered/accepted HTLCs on both local and remote commits, and second-level HTLC transactions. Each entry captures the raw leaf scripts, leaf hashes, tapscript root, internal key, output key, and pkScript.
Transaction vectors produce full serialized commitment transactions and HTLC resolution transactions for three scenarios: a simple commitment with no HTLCs, a commitment with five untrimmed HTLCs, and the same HTLCs at a higher fee rate causing some to be trimmed.

multi: add custom nonce rand support to MuSig2 sessions
In this commit, we add the ability to inject a custom random source for generating JIT (Just-In-Time) signing nonces in MuSig2 sessions. By default, MuSig2 signing nonces are generated using crypto/rand, which makes signatures non-deterministic across runs. For test vector generation, we need fully reproducible signatures from a fixed seed.
A new `customNonceRand` field is threaded through `MusigSession`, `MusigSessionCfg`, `MusigPairSession`, and exposed via the `WithCustomSigningRand` channel option. When set, the custom reader is passed to `musig2.WithCustomRand()` during JIT nonce generation in `SignCommit`. All existing callers pass `fn.None[io.Reader]()` to preserve the current behavior of using the system CSPRNG.

This change adds a hidden switch that lets developers plug in a custom random source when creating MuSig2 signing nonces, mainly so tests can produce exactly the same signatures every time. In normal operation the switch is left empty, so the code still uses the operating system's cryptographic random generator. The patch itself is a test-infrastructure feature, not a fix for an active security bug, but any future misuse of the switch could weaken signature security.

Security candidatelnwallet: emit actual MuSig2 partial sigs and nonces in test vectorsby Olaoluwa Osuntokun · fa97946f · Apr 13, 2026 · 1 fileMessage 88 · StrongInformational 18Details

lnwallet: emit actual MuSig2 partial sigs and nonces in test vectors
In this commit, we fix the taproot test vector generator to capture and emit the real MuSig2 partial signatures and public nonces rather than the dummy `CommitSig` value which is zeroed out for taproot channels.
Previously, the generator was reading from `CommitSig.ToSignatureBytes()` which yielded a minimal DER encoding of `(0, 0)` (the 8-byte string `3006020100020100`). For taproot channels the actual signature lives in the `PartialSig` field of the `CommitSigs` struct, which carries both the 32-byte partial sig scalar and the 66-byte compressed public nonce needed by the verifier to reconstruct the combined signature.
We now unwrap the `PartialSig` from both the local and remote commitment signatures, extract the nonce and sig bytes, and include `local_nonce` and `remote_nonce` fields alongside `remote_partial_sig` in the emitted JSON. This gives other implementations (eclair, CLN, etc.) all the material they need to independently verify commitment transaction signatures using their own MuSig2 libraries.

This commit fixes a test-data generator used by the LND Lightning node. Previously, the generator wrote a placeholder zero-value signature into its JSON test vectors for Taproot channels. Now it writes the real partial signature and public nonce values that other Lightning implementations need to independently check those test vectors. This is a test tooling fix, not a live security bug in production code.

lnwallet: add MuSig2 secret nonces and partial sig replay to test vectors
In this commit, we extend the taproot test vector generator and verifier to include MuSig2 secret nonces and a full partial signature replay test.
For the generator, we now capture the correct nonces for each commitment transaction: local's verification nonce (from LocalSession) for local's own commitment, and remote's JIT signing nonce (from RemoteSession) for the same commitment. Previously, the local nonce was incorrectly captured from the RemoteSession, which corresponds to a different commitment transaction.
The new musig2_partial_sig_replay test sub-suite verifies three properties for each test case:
1. The remote partial sig can be independently reproduced from the secret nonce and private key using musig2.Sign().
2. The local partial sig can be independently produced and verified using the local secret nonce.
3. Both partial sigs combine (via the Session API) into the exact Schnorr signature present in the commitment transaction witness.
This enables interop implementations to validate their MuSig2 signing logic against the test vectors without needing to match nonce derivation algorithms across different secp256k1 libraries.
