🚨 BITCOIN CORE REVEALS A TOR TRAFFIC SECURITY VULNERABILITY!
A major security disclosure has raised questions about privacy and protection across thousands of Bitcoin nodes.
Bitcoin Core revealed that a configuration flaw allowed incoming Tor connections to receive trusted-peer privileges, potentially bypassing certain denial-of-service protections and privacy safeguards.
The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-62860, affected thousands of reachable Bitcoin nodes using specific whitelist configurations.
But there is an important detail: THE BUG WAS ALREADY PATCHED IN OCTOBER 2025.
Bitcoin Core versions 30.0, 29.2 and 28.3 included the fix. Nodes without the affected non-default whitelist configuration were not vulnerable.
This disclosure highlights why regular software updates and network security remain essential for Bitcoin's decentralized infrastructure.
Is Bitcoin's biggest strength its decentralized design, or the security of the software protecting it?
