The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This change fixes a bug in LND's fee-probing feature used for Lightning Service Providers (LSPs). Previously, when probing multiple LSPs for the same invoice, all probe payments shared the same payment hash. The Lightning payment system could then treat later probes as retries of the first probe and reuse its settings, potentially returning wrong fee estimates or routing through the wrong LSP. The fix gives each LSP probe its own random payment hash so they stay independent. A new test confirms each LSP gets a unique hash.

Recommended action

Review and merge. The change is defensive and improves correctness of LSP fee probes. Operators should upgrade to a release containing this commit if they rely on LSP route probing. No immediate incident response is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Payment hash reuse across independent LSP probes could cause payment lifecycle state sharing

02

Potential wrong fee estimates or route selection due to reused probe parameters

03

Fix uses cryptographically random payment hash per LSP probe

04

New test asserts unique payment hashes and per-LSP CLTV deltas
