Unpaid resource access via reusable zero-delta voucher
Published Sep 22, 2026 · Updated Sep 22, 2026
Payment bypass in ZenHive MPP 0.14.0 through 0.16.1 allows remote attackers with an open channel to obtain paid resources without charges. MPP.Session.Actions.accept_voucher/3 accepts a voucher equal to the channel's recorded cumulative amount without invoking maybe_spend/2. A valid open channel and signed voucher are required; replaying that voucher under fresh challenges yields unlimited units while spending remains unchanged.
