The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simply updates the project's dependency on the gRPC networking library from version 1.79.1 to 1.79.3. It changes three files: the main module definition, the checksum file, and a CI workflow that pins this dependency. The commit message does not say why the update is needed, and no security advisory or researcher credit is included in the materials provided. Patch-level version bumps in dependencies often include bug or security fixes, but we cannot confirm that from the diff alone.

Recommended action

Treat this as a routine but security-relevant dependency update. Review the upstream gRPC v1.79.3 release notes to determine whether it fixes any vulnerabilities or bugs affecting LND's RPC or Lightning peer transport usage, and consider applying the update promptly if it addresses security issues.

Security signals we found

01

Patch-level dependency update of a widely used networking library (gRPC)

02

No application code changes; only version pins and checksums modified

03

No commit-message explanation or linked advisory provided in supplied materials

04

gRPC is in the attack surface for LND's RPC and peer communications

This change stops LND from opening new Lightning channels using the old 'legacy' commitment format. The legacy format makes it harder to recover funds if something goes wrong, because the money owed to you is tied to a secret key that chan…

This update fixes a bug in how LND handles old-style punishment transactions when a channel partner tries to cheat. Previously, tiny (dust) HTLCs were left as blank placeholder entries in the punishment data, which could cause the node to …

This change tightens how LND reads Lightning invoices (BOLT 11). Previously, if an invoice contained more than one payment hash field, LND would silently keep the first one and ignore the rest. Now it rejects the invoice entirely. The rele…
