PANews reported on November 8 that Bitcoin wallet Electrum announced on X that version 4.8.4 had been released, calling it another security update. According to the GitHub changelog, the version was released on November 6 and fixes a vulnerability related to Lightning Network onion messages: malformed onion messages from any source could cause Electrum to disconnect from its channel peers. Electrum will now discard all incoming onion messages until a practical use case is implemented. The new version also fixes issues including the failure to restore some seed phrases created before version 2.0. Electrum's previous version, 4.8.3, was released in late October and fixed a high-severity vulnerability that had been exploited in the wild.

Reminder: If you have authorized any relevant contracts, check and revoke those authorizations as soon as possible.
