Core Lightning tells node operators to upgrade after confirming security flaws

Core Lightning developers confirmed security flaws and issued an urgent upgrade, instructing node operators to update immediately. The vulnerabilities, if unpatched, could be exploited to disrupt node operations and jeopardize channel security. Operators who delay updates increase the risk of service disruption, routing instability and potential financial loss for users on the Lightning network. Prompt upgrades will mitigate these risks and are necessary to preserve the reliability of Lightning as a scaling layer for Bitcoin.
