The Lightning Development Kit (LDK) released updates 0.2.7 and 0.1.13 to fix a vulnerability that allowed malicious peers to create conflicting channel states, potentially stealing Bitcoin from affected Lightning apps. The flaw enabled a peer to falsely deny receiving a channel update, causing an application to sign conflicting transactions that could be exploited to reclaim funds after HTLC expiry. Version 0.2.7 also addresses a separate issue in LSPS2, where clients could request more Bitcoin than received, risking liquidity service losses. The extent of affected users or any exploitation remains unknown, highlighting the importance of updating LDK-based applications promptly.
