What the developer wrote
Authored by SChernykh
p2pool v4.17.1
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply updates the Monero GUI's built-in downloader to fetch a newer version of the bundled P2Pool mining software (from v4.17 to v4.17.1) and refreshes the expected file hashes accordingly. There is no code change to how downloads are verified or installed, and no security relevance is stated by the project.
Treat as a routine dependency bump. If auditing, verify the new SHA-256 hashes against the official SChernykh/p2pool v4.17.1 release artifacts and confirm the download uses HTTPS and hash verification before execution. No immediate security action is indicated by this commit alone.
Security signals we found
Hard-coded download URL and hash for external binary dependency updated
No change to verification logic or sandboxing
No mention of security fix, CVE, or vulnerability in commit message
Evidence from the diff
The diff in src/p2pool/P2PoolManager.cpp changes only the download URL, local filename, and SHA-256 expected hash for each supported platform (Windows, Linux, macOS Intel, macOS ARM64) to point at P2Pool v4.17.1. The download/verification/execution logic is otherwise unchanged. No vulnerability, bug fix, or security behavior is visible in the diff, and no references were supplied to indicate that v4.17.1 addresses a security issue.
