Critical BTCPay Server flaw drains Bitcoin Lightning node funds, hitting major hardware wallet maker and Bitcoin publication.

A severe vulnerability in BTCPay Server, a widely used Bitcoin payment processor, allowed attackers to access Lightning node credentials and steal funds from connected nodes. Notable victims include Foundation, a hardware wallet maker, and the Bitcoin publication Citadel21. The flaw involved persistent macaroons (API keys) that remained valid after updates unless manually refreshed, exposing users despite applying patches. BTCPay Server urgently released version 2.4.2 and advised immediate upgrades or server shutdowns to prevent further losses, highlighting challenges in securing self-hosted Bitcoin infrastructure.
