CriticalMetricsAV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Electrum versions prior to 4.8.3
Description
The software fails to verify signatures of wallet-owned inputs in unconfirmed mempool transactions. This allows malicious servers to replace a recently broadcast transaction with a conflicting one. Attackers can suppress the original transaction and present an invalid zero-fee copy that pays an attacker-controlled address, potentially tricking users into performing a Replace-By-Fee (RBF) fee-bump and signing the malicious transaction.
Recommendations
Update to version 4.8.3.
