What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply updates the Go compiler and toolchain versions used to build LND from 1.25.10/1.26.3 to 1.25.11/1.26.4 across many configuration files, Docker images, and documentation. It contains no direct code changes. Such patch-level Go bumps are typically routine maintenance that may include upstream security fixes in the Go runtime, but the commit itself does not describe any specific vulnerability or attack.
Treat as a standard maintenance update. Verify that CI, release builds, and Docker images build correctly with Go 1.26.4. Review the Go 1.26.4 and 1.25.11 release notes for any relevant runtime or standard-library security fixes, and consider whether users running self-compiled binaries need to rebuild with the new Go version. No urgent security action is indicated by the commit itself.
Security signals we found
Routine patch-level Go toolchain bump
No LND application code or dependency changes
May inherit upstream Go security fixes, but none are named in the commit
No explicit security relevance stated by the vendor
Evidence from the diff
The diff is a mechanical version bump: go.mod directives and documentation move from Go 1.25.10 to 1.25.11, while CI workflows, Dockerfiles, and the Makefile reference version move from 1.26.3 to 1.26.4. No LND source code, logic, or dependency versions are changed. The change increases the likelihood that builds and releases use a Go patch release that fixes bugs or security issues in the standard library/runtime, but the commit message does not identify any specific CVE or security issue.
