Lower-priorityMake PriorContribution::holder_balance non-optionalby Wilmer Paulino · 41a2baac · Apr 15, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 85 · StrongLow 29Details
Commit message · Wilmer Paulino

Make PriorContribution::holder_balance non-optional

The `holder_balance` is computed by
`FundedChannel::get_holder_counterparty_balances_floor_incl_fee`, which
may unexpectedly fail due to the balance either being too high or too
low. These cases are highly unlikely to happen given we have validation
to ensure we never enter such a state to begin with. If they were to
happen, something has gone wrong with the channel and it doesn't make
sense to allow splicing anyway. Therefore, we opt to make
`PriorContribution::holder_balance` non-optional and return an error
that the channel cannot be spliced at the moment.

AI analysis · Low 29/100

This commit tightens error handling during Bitcoin Lightning channel splicing. Previously, if the software could not compute the user's current channel balance, it would silently skip a fee-rate optimization and re-run coin selection. Now it treats that balance-computation failure as a hard error and refuses to splice. This prevents the code from proceeding with potentially incorrect fee calculations when the channel is in an unexpected state, but it is a defensive hardening change rather than a fix for a known exploitable bug.

Lower-priorityUse floor division for the spec's 25/24 RBF feerate ruleby Jeffrey Czyz · 154f06bd · Apr 15, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 73 · AdequateLow 49Details
Commit message · Jeffrey Czyz

Use floor division for the spec's 25/24 RBF feerate rule

The spec says the 25/24 multiplicative feerate is "rounded down", but
min_rbf_feerate used ceiling division. This made the computed minimum 1
sat/kwu too high when prev * 25 is not evenly divisible by 24, which
could reject valid counterparty feerates.

This commit fixes a tiny but real arithmetic bug in how Lightning splicing/RBF transactions decide the minimum acceptable fee rate. The code was using ceiling division (rounding up) when the Lightning specification says to round down. That made the minimum fee 1 satoshi per kiloweight-unit too high in some cases, which could cause a node to wrongly reject a counterparty's valid fee-bump attempt. The fix changes one division operation from 'round up' to 'round down' and updates the related tests.

Enforce minimum RBF feerate from counterparty

The spec's tx_init_rbf recipient requirements now mandate rejecting a
feerate below max(prev + 25 sat/kwu, ceil(prev * 25/24)), matching the
sender requirement. Previously we only enforced the 25/24 rule on
counterparties. Reuse the existing min_rbf_feerate function for both
our own and counterparty validation.

This commit tightens the rules a Lightning node uses when a peer tries to speed up or replace a funding transaction (an RBF attempt). Previously, the node accepted any feerate that was at least 25/24 of the previous one, even if that increase was tiny in absolute terms. The new code also requires the new feerate to be at least 25 sat/kwu higher than the previous one, matching what the protocol spec now says. This prevents a peer from getting a transaction stuck or delayed by bumping the fee by only a fraction when the absolute bump is too small to be relayed by the Bitcoin network.

ln/refactor: move mpp timeout into helper function

We'll use this shared logic when we need to timeout trampoline HTLCs.

Note that there's a slight behavior change in this commit. Previously,
we'd do a first pass to check out total received value and return
early if we'd reached it without applying a MPP tick to any HTLC.
Now, we'll apply the MPP tick as we accumulate our total value received.

This does not make any difference, because we never MPP-timeout fully
accumulated MPP payments so it doesn't matter if we've applied the
tick when we've reached our full amount.

This commit is a straightforward internal code cleanup in the Lightning Dev Kit's channel manager. It extracts a small, repeated pattern for reading previous-hop routing data into a shared helper method. There is no change to behavior, no fix for a bug, and no security relevance visible in the diff or commit message.

fuzz: gate splice opcodes on cfg(splicing)

Keep the splice opcodes in chanmon_consistency available
only when the crate is built with cfg(splicing). When
splicing is disabled, return early from those opcode
handlers instead of calling splice helpers that are not
compiled in.

Add cfg(splicing) to fuzz/Cargo.toml check-cfg so the
guarded code builds cleanly in the fuzz crate.

This commit is a build-system and fuzz-test maintenance change. It makes sure that certain experimental 'splicing' test commands in the fuzzing harness are only compiled and run when the 'splicing' feature flag is enabled. When the flag is off, those commands now do nothing instead of trying to call splicing code that isn't compiled in. There is no user-facing security fix here.

Lower-priorityfuzz: handle BroadcastChannelUpdate in chanmonby Joost Jager · 3029bf4c · Apr 14, 2026 · 1 fileMessage 78 · AdequateInformational 17Details

fuzz: handle BroadcastChannelUpdate in chanmon

The regression was introduced in d627ce14c. That change
switched fee update opcodes in chanmon_consistency from
maybe_update_chan_fees() to timer_tick_occurred(), which can
enqueue BroadcastChannelUpdate events while peers are
disconnected.

The harness already tolerated those events in one delivery
path, but still treated them as unreachable in
push_excess_b_events and disconnect draining. Accept
BroadcastChannelUpdate in those match arms so the fuzz target
no longer panics on valid timer tick driven message queues.

This commit fixes a fuzz-testing harness so it no longer crashes when it encounters a specific kind of routine network message (BroadcastChannelUpdate). The change only affects test code, not the real Lightning node software that users run. It does not fix a vulnerability in production code.

Lower-priorityApply MPP receive timeout to keysend paymentsby Elias Rohrer · fd8846b5 · Apr 14, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 78 · AdequateModerate 60Details
Commit message · Elias Rohrer

Apply MPP receive timeout to keysend payments

Incomplete keysend MPPs skipped the receive timeout path,
allowing partial payments to hold HTLC slots until CLTV
expiry instead of failing after `MPP_TIMEOUT_TICKS`.
Apply the existing `total_mpp_amount_msat` completeness
check to all MPP receives and add a regression test
covering the keysend case.

The timeout logic was originally added only for
invoice-backed MPPs in 2022, and that invoice-only
guard remained when receive-side MPP keysend support
landed in 2023, leaving this gap latent until now.

This commit fixes a bug in the Lightning Dev Kit where multi-part keysend payments (a way to send Bitcoin over the Lightning Network without an invoice) did not use the normal timeout safety check. Normally, if only some parts of a multi-part payment arrive, the node waits a short time and then fails the partial payments to free up resources. For keysend payments, this timeout was skipped, so partial payments could sit around for hours or days, tying up funds and network slots until the payment's final deadline. The fix applies the same completeness and timeout check to all multi-part receives, including keysend, and adds a test to prevent the bug from returning.

ci: pin hyper-rustls for Rust 1.75 sync builds

The build-sync job started resolving hyper-rustls v0.27.8 for the esplora-async-https configuration. That release requires rustc 1.85, but the sync CI job still runs on Rust 1.75.0.

Pin hyper-rustls to 0.27.7 when building with rustc older than 1.85, alongside the existing MSRV dependency pins in ci-tests-common.sh.

This is a routine CI maintenance commit. It pins an older version of a dependency (hyper-rustls) so that automated builds using an older Rust compiler (1.75) continue to work. It does not change application code, fix a vulnerability, or alter how the software behaves in production.

AI review queuedValidate HTTPS scheme in LSPS5 URL Readable deserializationby Vincenzo Palazzo · 78df66df · Apr 13, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 98 · StrongModerate 64Details

Validate HTTPS scheme in LSPS5 URL Readable deserialization

The `Readable` implementations for `LSPSUrl` and `LSPS5WebhookUrl`
were bypassing URL validation, allowing non-HTTPS URLs (e.g., http://,
ftp://) to be deserialized from the wire protocol without rejection.
Only the serde `Deserialize` and `new()`/`parse()` paths were correctly
validating the HTTPS scheme.

Route `LSPSUrl::Readable` through `LSPSUrl::parse()` and add a length
check to `LSPS5WebhookUrl::Readable` so that wire-deserialized URLs
receive the same validation as JSON-deserialized ones.

Fixes #4559

defensive validationsecond-pass: broader security terminology
AI analysis · Moderate 64/100

This commit fixes a validation gap in the Lightning Dev Kit's LSPS5 (liquidity service) URL handling. When receiving a URL over the wire protocol, the code previously accepted any URL scheme, including insecure ones like http:// or ftp://. Now it enforces HTTPS-only URLs during deserialization, matching the validation already done for JSON input. It also adds a length check for webhook URLs.

Document that LSPS5 services should double-check the destination

It would be easy to implement an LSPS5 service and forget that the
webhook calls are going out based on a URI and headers provided by
an untrusted client, so such implementations need to make sure to
check if the destination is some internal resource before sending.

This commit only adds a documentation comment warning developers who build LSPS5 services that webhook URLs come from untrusted clients and could point to internal/private resources. It does not change any code behavior, so there is no direct vulnerability being fixed in the library itself. The risk is that a service built with this library might blindly call attacker-supplied URLs, leading to server-side request forgery (SSRF) or internal network probing. The commit is a safety reminder rather than a patch.

Avoid `Vec::with_capacity(huge)` on empty `Route`s

In generally we consider empty `Route`s bogus garbage and don't
always handle them super carefully, but ideally we shouldn't
allocate a huge buffer just because someone passes a bogus `Route`
to an onion-building utility method.

This commit fixes a bug where a deliberately empty payment route could cause the software to try to reserve an enormous amount of memory. The fix makes the onion-packet builder reject empty routes immediately, preventing a potential denial-of-service or crash from an oversized memory allocation.
