Retransmit splice_locked for 0-conf channels missing tx_signatures

When a 0-conf channel successfully negotiates a 0-conf splice only for
one peer and a disconnection happens prior to the other peer receiving
`tx_signatures`, we'd previously fail to handle the inferred
`splice_locked` upon reconnection via the
`my_current_funding_locked_txid` TLV since the peer had not considered
the splice fully negotiated yet. In this case, an explicit
retransmission of `splice_locked` is required as per the BOLT-2
requirement:

> Each node:
> - If option_zeroconf has been negotiated:
> - SHOULD send splice_locked immediately after exchanging tx_signatures.

This commit fixes a bug in the Lightning Dev Kit where, after a disconnection, a node could fail to retransmit a 'splice_locked' message to a peer that was still waiting for transaction signatures. Without this retransmission, the two peers could get stuck and not agree on the new channel funding, potentially leaving the channel unusable or in an inconsistent state. The fix ensures the required message is resent so both nodes converge correctly.

Commit message · Matt Morehouse

Include to_self_delay size in DelayedPaymentOutput weight calculation

SpendableOutputDescriptor::create_spendable_outputs_psbt estimated the
witness weight of a to_local (DelayedPaymentOutput) input using
MAX_WITNESS_LENGTH, which assumes the maximum 4-byte OP_CSV push of
to_self_delay in the redeemscript. The real push can be as small as 1
byte for small to_self_delays, causing the estimate to overshoot by up
to 3 WU. If this overshoot occurred in addition to a short signature,
the max-overshoot debug_assert in KeysManager::spend_spendable_outputs
would fail.

Add DelayedPaymentOutput::max_witness_length, which computes the witness
length from the descriptor's actual to_self_delay, and use it in place
of the MAX_WITNESS_LENGTH constant. This produces a more accurate
weight estimate so that the debug_assert in spend_spendable_outputs
never fails.

This bug was discovered using Smite.

AI analysis · Low 26/100

This commit fixes a small accounting bug in how the Lightning wallet estimates the size (and therefore transaction fee) of a special Bitcoin transaction that sweeps funds back to the user after a channel closes. The old code always assumed the largest possible 4-byte encoding of a delay value, even when the real value used only 1 byte. That could make the fee estimate slightly too high and, in rare cases with a short digital signature, trigger an internal debug-only assertion failure. The fix computes the exact size based on the actual delay value and adds a regression test. It is not a remote exploit and does not risk loss of funds.

Commit message · Wilmer Paulino

Handle missing splice tx_signatures on reestablish

When reconnecting after one side has received `tx_signatures` for a
splice but the peer has not, `channel_reestablish` may need to recover
two different pieces of state: the missing `tx_signatures` and a later
commitment update generated after quiescence ended locally.

Previously the lost-remote-commitment path discarded any `tx_signatures`
prepared while processing the peer's `next_funding` TLV, as we assumed
that if a `tx_signatures` is owed, then no pending updates must exist.
That left the peer awaiting splice signatures and still treating the
channel as quiescent, so the subsequent HTLC commitment update was
rejected as a normal update while quiescent.

This was incorrect as the fuzzer highlighted that a new update can be
made after the `tx_signatures` exchange (while the counterparty has yet
to process the responding `tx_signatures`) and both messages need to be
retransmistted after a reconnect.

We fix this by carrying `tx_signatures` through that reestablish branch
and making the `tx_signatures/commitment_update` order explicit. Initial
splice funding retransmission remains
commitment_signed-before-tx_signatures, while post-splice reconnect
recovery sends tx_signatures before normal commitment updates so the
peer can exit quiescence first.

This commit fixes a bug in LDK's Lightning channel reconnection logic after a splice (a way to resize a channel's on-chain funds). If one peer had already received the splice signatures but the other had not, and then they disconnected and reconnected, the recovering peer could drop its own splice signatures while trying to resend a later commitment update. That left the counterparty still waiting for splice signatures and still treating the channel as 'frozen' (quiescent), so it would reject the normal commitment update. The fix ensures both the missing splice signatures and any later commitment update are retransmitted in the correct order after reconnect.

Test cross-version serialization of pending splices

Add tests exercising the 0.2/current wire boundary for pending splices:
- A current node with a single pending splice (whether or not we
contributed to it) is loadable by LDK 0.2.
- A current node with a splice under RBF is refused by 0.2 via the even
RBF-gate TLV.
- A single pending splice written by 0.2 is read by current with no
contribution recorded, since 0.2 never tracked one.

The downgrade reload configs enable anchors so 0.2 accepts the current
channel type rather than refusing it before the splice state is reached.

Commit message · Matt Corallo

Require `htlc_value_satoshis` in [pending] `HTLCUpdate`s

In 0.0.100 we started tracking the amounts being claimed in
`OnchainEvent::HTLCUpdate` and then also in
`MonitorEvent::HTLCUpdate`'s `HTLCUpdate`. It was always set, but
stored as an `Option` to support further downgrade. Because these
objects time out after `ANTI_REORG_DELAY` (6) blocks, there's not
really much reason to keep supporting backwards compatibility to
upgrade with such objects without an amount.

In 0.0.115, we started providing the amount in `PaymentForwarded`.
For whatever reason, despite the event only being generated in
cases where we had amounts, the field was added as an `Option`.

Still, in 0.0.118 we started generating them from both off-chain
and on-chain claims. For off-chain claims it was always set, but
for claims which originated from on-chain claims, the amounts came
from the `MonitorEvent::HTLCUpdate` and thus were always an
`Option`. If we no longer care about `MonitorEvent::HTLCUpdate`'s
without a claim amount, we no longer need to worry about
`Event::PaymentForwarded` either. Thus, we make it required here
as well.

This commit removes the 'Option' wrapper from several HTLC amount fields, making them required instead of optional.

Use a builder for sign_interactive_funding_tx arguments

The signing helper had accumulated several boolean/option parameters beyond
the two nodes, so call sites passed opaque positional `false`s and bare
`None`s whose meaning was unclear without consulting the signature.

Replace the two overloaded functions with a single `sign_interactive_funding_tx`
taking a `SignInteractiveFundingTxArgs` builder, mirroring `PassAlongPathArgs`:
`new(initiator, acceptor)` defaults to a first-attempt splice on a confirmed
channel with no acceptor contribution, and each non-default behavior is opted
into by a named method (`zero_conf`, `with_acceptor_contribution`, `replacing`).

ln: persist the paid BOLT 12 invoice and build payer proofs

Carry the paid `Bolt12Invoice` through the outbound payment so it survives
restarts, and surface it as a `PaidBolt12Invoice` on `Event::PaymentSent` so the
payer can build a payer proof. The payer signing key is re-derived from the
invoice's own payer metadata, so no extra key material is stored.

`PaidBolt12Invoice` now lives in `offers::payer_proof`; existing async payment
tests and a test helper are updated to construct it via the new API. Adds an
end-to-end test that pays a BOLT 12 offer and builds + verifies a payer proof
from the resulting `Event::PaymentSent`.

This commit is a feature addition, not a vulnerability fix. It extends rust-lightning's BOLT 12 payment support so that when a wallet pays a BOLT 12 invoice, the paid invoice is saved through retries and restarts and is later exposed in the PaymentSent event as a PaidBolt12Invoice. The wallet can then use that object to build a cryptographic 'payer proof' that selectively discloses invoice fields to prove to a third party that it paid. The payer signing key is re-derived from data already in the invoice, so no extra secret key storage is needed. There is no indication in the commit that this fixes a security bug; it is new functionality with tests.

It moves existing payer key-derivation logic into shared helper functions so that future 'payer proof' features can reuse the same code. The change does not appear to fix a security bug; it reorganizes existing logic and adds a new public method to re-derive a payer's signing keys from invoice data. No vulnerability or exploit is described in the commit itself.

Upload new fuzz corpus entries as a short-lived CI artifact

Fork-PR runs get no credentials from Forgejo — neither secrets nor
authorized-integration identity tokens — so the fuzz job cannot push
new corpus entries to the corpus repo from CI. Instead, clone the
corpus from this Forgejo instance (rather than the GitHub copy, so
new entries are detected against the repo they will land in), stage
the new entries plus any SIG* crashes like the GitHub workflow does,
and upload them as an `hfuzz-corpus` artifact with a two-day
retention. The ldk-fuzzing-corpus repo's nightly job sweeps these
artifacts into a corpus pull request and deletes them once processed.

Unlike the GitHub workflow's version, the crash-staging loop here uses
the `rust-lightning/<target>` prefix the corpus entries are actually
staged under (upstream checks the wrong path, so no crash file is ever
picked up there), and it stages crashes for targets that produced no
new corpus entries rather than only creating the target directory as a
side effect of staging corpus files.

This commit changes a CI workflow for the rust-lightning project. It stops trying to push new fuzz test inputs directly to a corpus repository from automated test runs, and instead uploads them as a temporary artifact that a separate scheduled job later collects. This is a workflow reliability and credential-handling improvement, not a security fix or vulnerability.

ln: add trampoline mpp accumulation with rejection on completion

Add our MPP accumulation logic for trampoline payments, but reject
them when they fully arrive. This allows us to test parts of our
trampoline flow without fully implementing outbound dispatch.

This commit keeps the same first_claimable_htlc debug_assert behavior
as MPP claims, asserting that we do not fail our
check_claimable_incoming_htlc merge for the first HTLC that we add to a
set. This assert can only be hit if our first part exceeds the
`MAX_VALUE_MSAT`, which should not be hit because we check individual
amounts elsewhere in the codebase (the check exists to check that
multiple parts combined don't hit this overflow).

AI analysis · Low 25/100

This commit adds partial support in the Lightning Dev Kit node software for receiving and temporarily holding multi-part trampoline payments, then deliberately rejects them once all parts arrive because full outbound forwarding is not yet implemented. It is a development/testing step for the trampoline routing feature, not a finished payment path. The code includes safety checks and debug assertions to catch inconsistent payment data, and it explicitly fails unsupported forwards rather than silently mishandling them.

ln: remove incoming trampoline secret from HTLCSource

We don't need to track a single trampoline secret in our HTLCSource
because this is already tracked in each of our previous hops contained
in the source. This field was unnecessarily added under the belief that
each inner trampoline onion we receive for inbound MPP trampoline would
have the same session key.

It can be removed with breaking changes to persistence because we
currently refuse to decode trampoline forwards, and will not read
HTLCSource::Trampoline to prevent downgrades.

AI analysis · Informational 23/100

This commit removes a redundant 32-byte shared secret field from an internal data structure used when forwarding trampoline payments in the Lightning Dev Kit. The developers realized the secret was already stored inside each previous hop's data, so keeping a single copy at the top level was unnecessary. The change also updates serialization so older saved state cannot be cleanly loaded, but the code currently refuses to decode trampoline forwards anyway, so that downgrade risk is intentional and noted.

This commit changes the project's automated reviewer-assignment workflow to stop using a long-lived secret token and instead request a short-lived authentication token from the Forgejo CI service. This is a security-hardening improvement: it reduces the risk that a stolen or leaked long-lived token could be misused. There is no indication of an active vulnerability being fixed, and the change itself does not introduce obvious new weaknesses.

This commit hardens the project's automated build and test scripts by replacing loose version tags like 'actions/checkout@v4' with exact commit hashes served from a specific domain. This prevents a compromised or renamed third-party action from silently injecting malicious code into the project's CI runs. It is a defensive security improvement, not a fix for an active bug or breach.

Security candidateLower strictness of pending monitor update while awaiting tx_signaturesby Wilmer Paulino · b8a76c17 · Jun 25, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 73 · AdequateModerate 57Details

Lower strictness of pending monitor update while awaiting tx_signatures

We previously assumed that no monitor update should ever be pending when
receiving `tx_signatures` while quiescent, with the exception of the
`RenegotiatedFunding` variant. This was a bit too strict, as we did not
consider that if an HTLC was sent via the same channel, its preimage
could be received from upstream leading to a monitor update to durably
persist it.

This commit ensures that if the recipient of a `tx_signatures` has not
yet echoed theirs back, and it is awaiting a monitor update completion,
then the pending monitor update must be of the `RenegotiatedFunding`
variant. If the pending monitor update is of another variant, then we
must remain quiescent with no pending updates available to send until
after the `tx_signatures` exchange.

This commit fixes a logic bug in the Lightning Dev Kit's channel splicing code. Previously, the code wrongly assumed that no unrelated monitor update could be pending when a splice `tx_signatures` message arrived while the channel was quiescent. In reality, an unrelated HTLC preimage could trigger a pending monitor update at the same time. The fix relaxes the strictness so the protocol does not panic or get stuck, and adds a regression test covering the scenario.

Security candidateIgnore stale splice initial commitment_signedby Wilmer Paulino · b3e2dc8d · Jun 25, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 73 · AdequateModerate 64Details
Commit message · Wilmer Paulino

Ignore stale splice initial commitment_signed

After we complete a splice negotiation and see a
`FundingTransactionReadyForSigning` event, the counterparty may already
have sent its initial `commitment_signed` for the splice funding
transaction. If we then cancel the funding contribution, our local
channel state no longer tracks the pending splice attempt and queues
`tx_abort`, but the in-flight `commitment_signed` can still arrive
first. Handling that message against the post-abort channel state
attempts to validate a signature for the now-stale splice funding
transaction and can force-close the still-live channel.

We fix this by checking the optional `funding_txid` (which we expect all
implementations to always include by default) included in
`commitment_signed` before validating the commitment signature. If it
does not match the channel's locked funding txid, we can safely ignore
the stale message.

AI analysis · Moderate 64/100

This patch fixes a bug in the Lightning Dev Kit where a delayed message from a peer could accidentally force-close a live payment channel. During a failed 'splice' (a way to resize a channel), the peer might already have sent a signature for the now-canceled new funding transaction. Before this fix, the software would try to check that signature against the old channel state, fail, and wrongly close the channel. The fix makes the software first check whether the signature belongs to the currently active funding transaction and ignore it if it is stale.

Get real rand in `possiblyrandom` on supported platforms w/o feat

It turns out that conditionally-enabling a dependency via `target`
in `Cargo.toml` does not enable the corresponding dependency
`feature` when compiling the code. As a result, only when building
`possiblyrandom` with an explicit `getrandom` feature did we ever
actually return random values.

This fixes this by matching the `target` cfg in `Cargo.toml` to the
cfg in `lib.rs`.

This commit fixes a bug in a small helper crate called `possiblyrandom` used by the Lightning Dev Kit. The crate was supposed to return real random bytes on normal operating systems, but due to a Cargo.toml misconfiguration it was silently returning zeros unless an explicit feature flag was turned on. Randomness is important for cryptographic operations; using predictable zeros could weaken security in places that expect random input. The patch makes the code actually call the system's random source on supported platforms.

Security candidateReject pre-epoch `LSPSDateTime` at parse timeby Elias Rohrer · 837763a6 · Jun 18, 2026 · 1 fileMessage 80 · StrongHigh 76Details
Commit message · Elias Rohrer

Reject pre-epoch `LSPSDateTime` at parse time

`LSPSDateTime::is_past` coerced `chrono`'s `i64` timestamp into a
`u64` via `try_into().expect(...)`. Because `LSPSDateTime` is parsed
from peer-controlled RFC 3339 strings (which can be pre-1970 and so
yield negative timestamps), this could be triggered remotely: an
attacker-supplied `valid_until` / `expires_at` field of e.g.
`"1900-01-01T00:00:00Z"` would parse successfully, land in LSPS state
before any HMAC / promise check, and panic the LSP thread on the next
`prune_pending_requests` sweep. Concretely reachable today via LSPS2
`opening_fee_params.valid_until` (in the buy request) and the LSPS1
expiry fields.

Make `LSPSDateTime::from_str` reject pre-epoch datetimes, and route
serde deserialization through it: `#[serde(transparent)]` was
delegating Deserialize directly to `chrono`'s impl and bypassing our
parser, so peer JSON had to be guarded separately. With both paths
funnelled through one parser, no `LSPSDateTime` value with a negative
inner timestamp can be constructed and `is_past` is safe by
construction.

This commit fixes a remote denial-of-service bug in rust-lightning's LSPS (Lightning Service Provider Specification) code. An attacker could send a specially crafted date string from before 1970 (like "1900-01-01T00:00:00Z") in certain peer messages. The date would be accepted, and later when the software checked whether it had expired, it would panic and crash the LSP thread. The fix rejects any pre-1970 date during parsing, including when reading JSON from peers, so the dangerous value can never be created.

Use BOLT11 invoice payee keys for payment params

Payment parameters should use the canonical payee key from BOLT11
invoices. When an invoice includes an n field, using that key avoids
attempting signature recovery that may legitimately be unavailable.

This commit fixes a bug in how Lightning payment parameters are built from BOLT11 invoices. Previously, the code always tried to recover the payee's public key from the invoice signature, even when the invoice already explicitly included the payee's key. Signature recovery can fail or produce the wrong key in some legitimate cases, such as when the recovery ID byte is altered. The fix makes payment routing use the explicitly included payee key when available, falling back to signature recovery only when needed. This prevents potential payment routing failures or misrouting caused by relying on recoverable signatures.
