MEDIUM 6.9 NVD
CVE-2026-104420
Zebra before 6.3.0 contains a protection mechanism failure that allows unauthenticated peers to evade misbehavior scoring by supplying invalid gossiped blocks.
Zebra before 6.3.0 contains a protection mechanism failure that allows unauthenticated peers to evade misbehavior scoring by supplying invalid gossiped blocks. The inbound cleanup step wrongly downcasts RouterError to VerifyBlockError and discards the score, so attackers can repeatedly force block download and Equihash verification without being banned.
