Package

npm slp-validate (npm)

Affected versions

= 1.0.0

Patched versions

Description

Versions of slp-validate prior to 1.0.1 are vulnerable to a validation bypass. Bitcoin scripts may cause the validation result from slp-validate to differ from the specified SLP consensus. This allows an attacker to create a Bitcoin script that causes a hard-fork from the SLP consensus.
