[Bitcoin Core Vulnerability Allows Miners to Execute Code on Other Nodes, Approximately 43% of Nodes Remain Unpatched] According to Protos, Bitcoin Core developers recently disclosed a high-risk vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-52911. This vulnerability affects versions 0.14.1 to 28.4 and 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. A fix was merged in December of the same year and released with version 29 in April 2025. The final 28.x version series containing the vulnerability ceased maintenance on April 19, 2026. However, since upgrading Bitcoin full nodes is a voluntary process, it is estimated that approximately 43% of nodes are still running outdated software with the vulnerability, posing potential risks.
