The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new public /get_version endpoint to the Monero Light Wallet Server. It also changes the server to accept GET requests for some endpoints and records the HTTP method used. The new endpoint exposes detailed version and build information, including the exact git commit hash, branch, build date, Monero version, blockchain height, and server configuration. This information could help an attacker identify outdated or vulnerable server versions, but the commit itself does not appear to introduce a direct exploit.

Recommended action

Operators should review whether the /get_version metadata exposure is acceptable for their threat model. If version fingerprinting is a concern, consider restricting access to the endpoint or reducing the fields returned. Review that allowing GET requests does not bypass any endpoint-specific assumptions about request bodies or idempotency.
