Lower-priorityFix races when removing per-peer state from KVStore in LSPS2/5by Matt Corallo · 0f237961 · Sep 25, 2025 · 2 filesMessage 73 · AdequateModerate 61Details
Commit message · Matt Corallo

Fix races when removing per-peer state from KVStore in LSPS2/5

If we note that a peer should be removed in LSPS2/5 handling, we
need to make sure that the peer wasn't re-added between dropping
its state in memory and going to remove its state from disk. If it
is, we need to overwrite the current on-disk state instead.

✓ Specific, descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Provides detailed explanatory context
AI analysis · Moderate 61/100

This patch fixes a race condition in the Lightning Dev Kit's liquidity service plugins (LSPS2 and LSPS5). Previously, when the code decided a peer's state should be removed from disk, it could drop the in-memory lock before deleting the stored data. In that gap, another operation could re-add state for the same peer. The removal could then delete the newly-written state, or an outdated write could overwrite newer data, leading to lost or inconsistent peer records. The fix holds the appropriate locks until the storage write or remove operation is started, and re-checks whether the peer is still removable before deleting anything. If the peer was re-added, it now forces a fresh persist instead of removing.

Correct idempotency key docs on `LSPS2ServiceEvent::OpenChannel`

While it would be correct to use `(their_network_key,
intercept_scid)` as the idempotency key when handling
`LSPS2ServiceEvent::OpenChannel`, we don't actually expect anyone
to do so as it would require separate storage to track the
`intercept_scid` -> opened channel mappings.

Thus, we update the documentation to note that the correct
idempotency key is `(their_network_key, user_channel_id)`.

Lower-priorityRemove `lazy` flag from `{KVStore,KVStoreSync}::remove`by Elias Rohrer · 561da4cf · Sep 25, 2025 · 8 filesMessage 73 · AdequateInformational 23Details
Commit message · Elias Rohrer

Remove `lazy` flag from `{KVStore,KVStoreSync}::remove`

The utility of the `lazy` flag was always not entirely clear mod some
cloud environments where you actually could save an explicit call in
some scenarios by batching the remove with subsequent calls. However,
given the recent addition of the async `KVStore` introduced addtional
ordering constraints its unclear how implementation could actually still
benefit from the 'eventual' consistency properties originally
envisioned.

As the `lazy` flag then just amounts to a bunch of additonal complexity
everywhere, we here simply drop it from the `KVStore`/`KVStoreSync`
interfaces, simplifying implementations on both ends.

This commit removes a 'lazy' option from the key-value store's delete operation. Previously, callers could choose to delay or batch deletions for performance, but that created complexity and potential consistency problems with the new async store. Now all deletions are immediate and durable. The change is an API cleanup and simplification; it is not described by the project as a security fix, but it does reduce a small reliability risk where lazy deletes could be lost after a crash.

Lower-priority`LSPS2ServiceHandler` API: Avoid explictly `drop`ping locksby Elias Rohrer · acb584d2 · Sep 25, 2025 · 1 fileMessage 85 · StrongLow 37Details
Commit message · Elias Rohrer

`LSPS2ServiceHandler` API: Avoid explictly `drop`ping locks

We previously added some explict `drop`s to make sure to drop locks
before persisting. While clippy warned us about them, they seemed
perfectly functional. However, it weirdly seems that `cargo` will run
the same static analysis on dependencies, which has LDK Node builds fail
with many dreaded 'isn't `Send`' error whenever we touch the async
`LSPS2ServiceHandler` API.

Here, we simply believe clippy that this is a bad idea and use scoping
over explict `drop`s to ensure we don't hold them anymore when
persisting.

85/100 · StrongMessage clarity
✓ Specific, descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Provides detailed explanatory context✓ Explains rationale or failure mode
AI analysis · Low 37/100

This commit fixes a Rust async/locking issue in the LSPS2 service handler. Previously, the code used explicit `drop` calls to release locks before awaiting asynchronous persistence operations, and suppressed clippy warnings about holding locks across await points. The commit replaces those explicit drops with scoped blocks so locks are released automatically. This resolves build failures in downstream LDK Node caused by the lock guard type not being `Send`, which matters for async code. It is a code-quality and correctness fix rather than a direct exploit fix, but holding locks across await points can cause deadlocks or async runtime problems.

AI review queuedAllow passing an `OutputSweeperSync` to the sync-KVStore-async-BPby Matt Corallo · b68f128c · Sep 25, 2025 · 3 filesMessage 73 · AdequateInformational 19Details
Commit message · Matt Corallo

Allow passing an `OutputSweeperSync` to the sync-KVStore-async-BP

`OutputSweeper::new_with_kv_store_sync` is a pretty strange API -
it allows building an async `OutputSweeper` where the only `await`s
are on a sync `KVStore`, ie will immediately block until the IO
operation completes.

While this isn't broken (futures are allowed to take their time,
and async runtimes have to handle this, though they often don't
handle it particularly well), its pretty weird. It seems to exist
largely for `process_events_async_with_kv_store_sync`, which does
async `Event` handling but sync `KVStore` operations (like the
existing pre-0.2 "async" background processor).

Instead, we allow passing an `OutputSweeperSync` to
`process_events_async_with_kv_store_sync`, keeping the API
consistent such that a user would use the appropriate
`OutputSweeper` variant, but fetching the inner async
`OutputSweeper` inside the BP.

Commit message · Valentine Wallace

Fix race condition causing async payment failure

As the LSP of an async sender, when we receive an update_add with the hold_htlc
flag set, after its onion is decoded we transition the pending HTLC to the
ChannelManager::pending_intercepted_htlcs. However, if we receive the
release_held_htlc message from the receiver *before* we've had a chance to make
this transition, we'll fail to release the HTLC and it will sit in the pending
intercepts map until it is failed backwards.

To fix this race condition, if we receive release_held_htlc from the recipient
we'll not only check the pending_intercepted_htlcs map for the presence of this
HTLC but also check the map where we keep HTLCs prior to their onions being
decoded.

AI analysis · Low 43/100

This commit fixes a timing bug in Lightning Dev Kit's 'async payments' feature. When a payment is held for an offline recipient, the sender's Lightning Service Provider (LSP) normally moves the held HTLC into an internal 'pending intercepts' map after decoding its onion. If the recipient comes online and sends a 'release' message before that move happens, the old code would miss the release instruction and eventually fail the payment backward. The fix makes the release handler also look in the pre-decode map and mark the HTLC to be released as soon as it is ready. The commit adds a regression test and extends the release message format to carry the channel alias and HTLC id needed for that lookup.

Splicing fix: use outbound_alias in manager maps

Since we have added/are adding splicing support, the scid of a channel is
liable to change post-splice.

Some maps in the ChannelManager are keyed by the scid of a channel, which is an
issue now -- if we forward an HTLC from a channel and then splice that
channel before the HTLC is resolved, we'll end up with an HTLC source with an
scid that doesn't correspond to any open channel. This may result in loss of
the HTLC resolution.

The outbound scid alias of a channel is stable even post-splice, so for the
short term here we switch to using that instead. In the medium term we should
update these maps to use (PublicKey, ChannelId) like everything else.

We don't always use the alias for outbound forwarded HTLCs, since we tend to
use whatever outbound scid is in the onion. That's fine because we properly
handle the case where the outbound channel cannot be found; the main problem is
in inbound HTLCs and forgetting their resolution.

This commit fixes a bug in LDK's Lightning channel splicing support. When a channel is 'spliced' (its on-chain funding is changed), its short channel ID can change. Several internal maps that track pending HTLCs (payments being forwarded) were keyed by that changeable ID. If a splice happened while an HTLC was still in flight, the software could lose track of the payment's source and fail to resolve it, potentially causing loss of funds. The fix switches those maps to use the 'outbound SCID alias,' a stable identifier that survives splicing.

AI analysis · Informational 19/100

This commit is almost entirely a test-file change. It expands existing Lightning channel monitor tests to also cover a new channel type called '0FC' (zero-fee commitments with pay-to-anchor anchors). A tiny non-test change renames a script-weight constant to distinguish 'keyed anchors' from 'pay-to-anchor anchors', but the value stays the same and the constant is only used in tests. There is no production bug fix or security patch here.

This commit only adds and updates unit tests for channel anchor output handling in the Lightning Dev Kit library. It does not change any production code, so it cannot introduce a runtime security vulnerability. The change expands test coverage to include a newer channel type known as 'zero-fee commitment' (0FC) channels, ensuring the existing code correctly builds transactions with shared anchors.

AI analysis · Low 44/100

This commit removes a test-only restriction so that production builds of rust-lightning now advertise support for 'anchor zero-fee commitments' (0FC), a Lightning channel feature. The change itself is a feature enablement, not a bug fix for an active vulnerability. It could affect protocol compatibility and fee-bumping behavior, but there is no direct evidence in the commit or supplied references that this resolves a security flaw.

This commit updates how transaction weight (a measure of data size) is estimated for Lightning channel fee bumping when handling HTLCs (conditional Bitcoin payments). It distinguishes between two newer channel types: one using 'keyed' anchors and one using 'pay-to-anchor' (P2A) outputs. The P2A variant is slightly lighter because it removes a 1-block CSV delay. The change is a correctness fix for fee estimation; if the weight were wrong, transactions could be under- or over-paying fees, potentially causing delays or stuck funds, but it is not a direct theft or key-leak vulnerability.

This commit adds a test-only assertion to make sure that when a transaction input spends a special 'P2A anchor' output, the witness data (cryptographic proof attached to the input) is empty. It does not change any production code behavior; it only strengthens test coverage for a known protocol detail.

This commit changes an internal test helper, not production code. It relaxes a test-only dust-check so that transactions containing one special below-dust output (a shared anchor used in zero-fee commitment transactions) no longer fail the assertion. There is no direct security vulnerability in the change itself; it is a test-infrastructure update to match new expected on-chain behavior.

Generate direct-connect event for private offline peers

Imagine an LSP with a mobile client. The LSP wants to pay an offer that client
issued. It generates an onion messages invreq and sends it. The OnionMessenger
notices it's not connected and searches the network graph. It doesn't find the
mobile client so doesn't create a direct connect event. The message gets
dropped and the payment fails.

Here we start generating the DC event irrespective of the network graph so the
LSP can use LSPS5 to wake the client.

This change fixes a functional bug where a Lightning Service Provider (LSP) could fail to pay a mobile client that issued a BOLT12 offer. Previously, if the client was offline and not publicly announced in the network graph, the onion messenger would silently drop the message instead of asking the application to connect to the peer. Now it always emits a 'please connect to this peer' event, even when no network-graph addresses are known, so the app can use a separate wake-up protocol (LSPS5) to reach the client. It is a reliability/availability improvement, not a cryptographic vulnerability.
