CVE-2026-104428

Zebra before 11.0.0 Denial of Service via getblock Verbosity 2

Published Oct 2, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The getblock RPC method in zebra-rpc before 11.0.0, used by the Zcash Foundation's Zebra node, panics on verbosity 2 for a side-chain block because the block's -1 confirmations sentinel is converted to u32 with .expect(), aborting the process. Remote unauthenticated attackers, directly or through lightwalletd, can repeat this call to keep the node in a crash loop.
