What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply updates the version of a build dependency (Cap'n Proto, a data serialization library used during compilation) from 1.4.0 to 1.5.0 in Bitcoin Core's dependency system. It changes only a version number and the corresponding cryptographic hash used to verify the downloaded source. There is no indication in the commit itself of any security bug, vulnerability, or malicious change.
No security action is required based on this commit alone. If reviewing for supply-chain assurance, verify the new SHA-256 hash against the official Cap'n Proto 1.5.0 release tarball published by the upstream project.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
