Electrum has released version 4.8.3 to fix a high-risk vulnerability that allowed malicious servers to redirect Bitcoin payments when users tried to raise transaction fees. The flaw affected all versions before 4.8.3 and could replace a valid transaction with one sending funds to an attacker’s address, causing potential loss of funds. Electrum received private reports of this issue in October and promptly issued the fix, urging users to update only from official sources and verify signatures. Users connected to trusted servers were not affected by this attack.
