PANews May 6 news, according to Protos report, Bitcoin Core developers recently disclosed a high-risk vulnerability numbered CVE-2024-52911, which affects versions 0.14.1 to 28.4. This vulnerability allows miners to remotely crash other users' nodes and execute code by mining specially crafted blocks. The vulnerability was discovered and responsibly disclosed by developer Cory Fields in November 2024. The fix was merged in December of that year and released with version v29 in April 2025. The last vulnerable version in the 28.x series was discontinued on April 19, 2026.
However, due to the voluntary nature of Bitcoin full node upgrades, it is estimated that around 43% of nodes are still running vulnerable older version software, facing potential risks. Fortunately, the cost of implementing this attack is extremely high—miners would need to allocate significant computational power to mine invalid blocks that do not earn block rewards—so it is very likely that it has never been practically exploited.
