[Bitcoin Core Discloses Vulnerability: Tor Traffic from Thousands of Nodes Caused External Nodes to Inherit "Trusted" State] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Bitcoin News, in an article published on the X platform, disclosed a vulnerability in Bitcoin Core: when service providers bundle Bitcoin Core with Tor, incoming Tor traffic is treated as local traffic. This causes whitelisted nodes to relax spam and privacy restrictions on external nodes, allowing them to inherit a "trusted" state on thousands of nodes. A fix for this vulnerability was released in October 2025, but Bitcoin Core only announced details two weeks after the end of support for the 29.x series. Another high-severity vulnerability could prevent mining nodes from building valid blocks until a restart; no attacks related to this have been reported so far, and nodes without whitelisted settings are unaffected.
