btcwallet: support combined tweak to private key

Previously we'd define either a single or a double tweak for the sign
descriptor. We introduce the option to apply both consecutively (double
tweak first, single tweak second) if both tweak parameters are set. For
callers who define only one of the two parameters we maintain the old
behavior.

AI analysis · Low 28/100

This commit adds a new option in LND's Bitcoin wallet signer that lets two different key tweaks be applied one after another to a private key, instead of only allowing one at a time. A tweak is a cryptographic adjustment used in Lightning for things like revocation keys and HTLC indexes. The change is additive and preserves old behavior when only one tweak is provided. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security vulnerability.

Commit message · Olaoluwa Osuntokun

discovery: add panic recovery for serial announce signatures processing

In this commit, we extend the panic recovery mechanism to cover the
serial processing path for AnnounceSignatures1 messages. Unlike other
gossip messages which are processed in parallel goroutines, announcement
signatures are processed serially in the main networkHandler loop.

A panic during this serial processing would previously crash the entire
gossiper. This change wraps the processing in an anonymous function with
a deferred panic recovery, ensuring resilience without changing the
serial processing semantics.

Since AnnounceSignatures bypass the validation barrier, we pass nil for
the jobID parameter.

This update adds a safety net around a specific message-handling path in LND's gossip subsystem.

The change is defensive hardening rather than a fix for a known active attack.

server: remove accountability signal experiment period

In the previous iteration with endorsement
signaling, the recommendation was for the sender to
set it to 1 and that could have had privacy concerns
when first deploying given that the default was to
downgrade the signal to 0. In the latest proposal
the recommended default for both sending and
forwarding nodes is to set `accountable` to 0.
As a result, the dates have been removed given
that there are no privacy risks associated
with relaying the signal with zero values.

AI analysis · Informational 21/100

This commit removes a time-limited 'experiment period' for a new Lightning network signaling feature called 'accountable' (previously 'endorsement signal'). Previously, nodes would only relay this signal until a fixed date in 2026, after which they would stop. Now, because the latest protocol proposal says the default should be to send a zero/'unaccountable' value, there is no longer a privacy risk from relaying it, so the experiment end date is removed. The signal is now relayed whenever the feature is enabled, regardless of date. This is a protocol behavior change, not a fix for an exploitable security bug.

Commit message · ziggie

channeldb: fix race condition in link node pruning

This commit fixes a critical race condition in MarkChanFullyClosed and
pruneLinkNode where link nodes could be incorrectly deleted despite
having pending or open channels.

The race occurred because the check for open channels and the link node
deletion happened in separate database transactions:

Thread A: TX1 checks open channels → [] (empty)
Thread A: TX1 commits
Thread B: Opens new channel with same peer
Thread A: TX2 deletes link node (using stale data)
Result: Link node deleted despite pending channel existing

This creates a TOCTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) vulnerability where
database state changes between reading the channel count and deleting
the node.

Fix for MarkChanFullyClosed:
- Move link node deletion into the same transaction as the channel
closing check, making the check-and-delete operation atomic

Fix for pruneLinkNode:
- Add double-check within the write transaction to verify no channels
were opened since the caller's initial check
- Maintains performance by keeping early return for common case
- Prevents deletion if channels exist at delete time

This ensures the invariant: "link node exists iff channels exist"
is never violated, preventing database corruption and potential
connection issues.

AI analysis · Moderate 68/100

This commit fixes a database race condition in LND (a Bitcoin Lightning Network implementation). When a channel closed, the software could incorrectly delete stored peer information ('link node') even though a new channel with that same peer had just been opened. The fix moves the 'check for open channels' and 'delete peer info' steps into the same database transaction, so they happen atomically and cannot be interrupted by another operation.

itest+lntest: add coordinator pattern test for combined nonce

Add integration test for MuSig2RegisterCombinedNonce and
MuSig2GetCombinedNonce RPCs to verify the coordinator pattern workflow.

The test:
- Creates three signing sessions without initial nonce exchange
- Manually aggregates nonces using the coordinator pattern (btcec musig2)
- Tests v0.4.0 returns unsupported errors (as expected)
- Tests v1.0.0rc2 successfully registers and retrieves combined nonces
- Verifies mutual exclusivity (error: already have all nonces)
- Completes a full signing flow to ensure signatures are valid

Also adds the required RPC harness wrapper methods to lntest/rpc/signer.go for
the new RPCs and adds MuSig2RegisterNoncesErr wrapper for error testing.

This commit adds two new server-side RPC handlers for an advanced multi-signature signing feature called MuSig2. The handlers let a caller register a pre-aggregated combined nonce and retrieve the combined nonce for a signing session. The code delegates to existing signer logic, checks the session ID format, validates the nonce length, and assigns macaroon permissions. There is no direct evidence in the commit of a security vulnerability; it appears to be a normal feature-completion change.

This commit removes a redundant flag called HaveNodeAnnouncement from LND's internal node records and replaces it with a simple rule: if a node has a stored signature, it has an announcement. It is a code-quality/refactoring change that eliminates two conflicting ways of answering the same question. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security vulnerability, but inconsistent state can historically lead to subtle bugs in how node information is stored, forwarded, or validated.

Security candidatediscovery: convert UpdatesInHorizon to return iter.Seq2[lnwire.Message, error]by Olaoluwa Osuntokun · d8f6fd29 · Sep 26, 2025 · 3 filesMessage 78 · AdequateInformational 18Details
Commit message · Olaoluwa Osuntokun

discovery: convert UpdatesInHorizon to return iter.Seq2[lnwire.Message, error]

In this commit, we complete the iterator conversion work started in PR
10128 by threading the iterator pattern through to the higher-level
UpdatesInHorizon method. This change converts the method from returning
a fully materialized slice of messages to returning a lazy iterator that
yields messages on demand.

The new signature uses iter.Seq2 to allow error propagation during
iteration, eliminating the need for a separate error return value. This
approach enables callers to handle errors as they occur during iteration
rather than failing upfront.

The implementation now lazily processes channel and node updates,
yielding them as they're generated rather than accumulating them in
memory. This maintains the same ordering guarantees (channels before
nodes) while significantly reducing memory pressure when dealing with
large update sets during gossip synchronization.

This commit refactors an internal LND gossip method to return a lazy iterator instead of a fully built list of network messages. The goal is to reduce memory use when syncing large amounts of routing gossip. It is a code-quality/performance change, not a fix for an active security bug. There is no evidence in the commit or supplied references that it addresses a disclosed vulnerability.

autopilot: fix nil map assignment

Use the `clear` call to reset a map on `reset` instead of assigning nil
to the entry.

This commit fixes three places in the LND (Lightning Network Daemon) code where a map was being reset by assigning it to nil. The fix uses Go's `clear()` function instead, which empties the map while keeping the underlying map object. This is a code-correctness fix that prevents potential runtime panics if the same map variable is later used after a reset callback runs, but it is not a clear-cut exploitable security vulnerability based on the diff alone.

This commit refactors how a Lightning network message (ChannelUpdate2) is encoded and decoded. Previously, the digital signature was a separate fixed field; now it is treated as just another TLV (Type-Length-Value) record inside the message. The change also preserves unknown fields that fall within the signed portion of the message so that signatures can still be validated correctly. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security bug, but it is a protocol-correctness change that could prevent signature-validation failures or message-malleability issues when future unknown fields are present.

AI analysis · Low 27/100

This commit refactors how a new Lightning network message type (ChannelAnnouncement2) is encoded and decoded. Previously the message had a fixed signature field followed by a block of TLV data. Now the signature itself is placed inside the TLV stream, and the code distinguishes between fields that are covered by the signature and those that are not. The change is a protocol-structure update rather than a clear-cut bug fix, but it touches signature coverage and message parsing, which are security-sensitive areas.

lnwire: introduce PureTLVMessage

PureTLVMessage describes an LN message that is a pure TLV stream. If the
message includes a signature, it will sign all the TLV records in the
inclusive ranges: 0 to 159 and 1000000000 to 2999999999.

A comprehensive test is added that shows how two versions of the same
message remain forward compatible.

This commit adds a new internal framework called PureTLVMessage to the Lightning Network wire protocol code. It is purely a code addition (no existing behavior is changed) and is designed to make future message formats more forward-compatible. There is no indication this commit fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability.

This commit swaps out one PGP public key for another in LND's release verification script. The old key belonged to the same person (ffranr/Robyn Ffrancon) and is no longer used; the new key is the current release signing key. There is no code vulnerability here—it's a routine key rotation. However, if someone could silently replace the key with an attacker's key, they could trick users into trusting fake LND releases. The commit itself appears legitimate and matches the stated purpose.
