The Lightning Development Kit (LDK) implemented a fix that prevents a peer connected to both ends of an unannounced Lightning channel from using onion-message forwarding to link the channel to its Bitcoin funding output. This change rejects the real short channel ID (SCID) during onion-message forwarding for unannounced channels, while still allowing the use of the channel's outbound alias. The fix addresses a privacy risk where a peer could guess the SCID and link the channel nodes to the funding output on the Bitcoin blockchain. The update was merged on October 25, but it is not yet clear when this fix will be included in public releases or wallets.
