Overview

zebra-consensus is an Implementation of Zcash consensus checks

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature due to improper verification in the find_verified_unmined_tx function. An attacker can cause affected nodes to accept invalid block data and become isolated from the main network by submitting a block containing a transaction with a valid txid but invalid authorization data, leading to a consensus split.
