Core Lightning Urges Upgrade to 26.06.8 to Prevent Attacks

Core Lightning has indicated that attackers are targeting nodes still running version 26.06.7 and earlier. The patch 26.06.8, released on September 22, fixes a channel closure issue that could jeopardize funds, as well as vulnerabilities that could lead to crashes and memory exhaustion. The project has not disclosed the names of the vulnerabilities exploited by the attackers, nor has it reported any theft of funds. Operators of nodes that have not upgraded are becoming targets for attacks.
