Zebra before 6.3.0 Honest Peer Banning via Far-Ahead FindBlocks Hashes

Published Oct 2, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Zebra (zebrad) 4.5.0 before 6.3.0 discards which peer supplied the block hashes in FindBlocks responses, then assigns 100 misbehavior points, the ban threshold, to whichever peer serves a requested block more than 50,000 heights above the tip. A remote peer can return real far-ahead hashes to a syncing node so that honest peers get banned, eroding its peer set and raising eclipse risk.
