{"id":"CVE-2026-40880","summary":"Zebra: Cached Mempool Verification Bypasses Consensus Rules for Ahead-of-Tip Blocks","details":"ZEBRA is a Zcash node written entirely in Rust. Prior to zebrad version 4.3.1 and zebra-consensus version 5.0.2, a logic error in Zebra's transaction verification cache could allow a malicious miner to induce a consensus split. By carefully submitting a transaction that is valid for height H+1 but invalid for H+2 and then mining that transaction in a block at height H+2, a miner could cause vulnerable Zebra nodes to accept an invalid block, leading to a consensus split from the rest of the Zcash network. This vulnerability is fixed in zebrad version 4.3.1 and zebra-consensus version 5.0.2.","aliases":["GHSA-xvj8-ph7x-65gf"],"modified":"2026-07-08T08:13:12.893100981Z","published":"2026-04-21T19:18:22.657Z","database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD","extracted_events":[{"fixed":"5.0.2"}]}],"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-1025"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/40xxx/CVE-2026-40880.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/40xxx/CVE-2026-40880.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/security/advisories/GHSA-xvj8-ph7x-65gf"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-40880"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/zcashfoundation/zebra","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"aba329d6dca884f6d42bb4d36bda0010a071c2fc"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.3.1"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}}],"versions":["v4.3.0","v4.2.0","v4.1.0","v4.0.0","v3.1.0","v3.0.0","v3.0.0-rc.0","v2.5.0","v2.0.1","v2.4.2","v2.3.0","v2.4.0","v2.0.0","v2.2.0","v2.1.0","v2.0.0-rc.0","v1.9.0","v1.8.0","v1.7.0","v1.6.1","v1.6.0","v1.5.2","v1.5.1","v1.5.0","v1.4.0","v1.3.0","v1.2.0","v1.1.0","v1.0.1","v1.0.0","v1.0.0-rc.9","v1.0.0-rc.8","v1.0.0-rc.7","v1.0.0-rc.6","v1.0.0-rc.5","v1.0.0-rc.0","v1.0.0-rc.4","v1.0.0-rc.3","v1.0.0-rc.2","v1.0.0-rc.1","v1.0.0-beta.15","v1.0.0-beta.14","v1.0.0-beta.13","v1.0.0-beta.12","v1.0.0-beta.11","v1.0.0-beta.10","v1.0.0-beta.9","v1.0.0-beta.8","v1.0.0-beta.7","v1.0.0-beta.6","v1.0.0-beta.5","v1.0.0-beta.4","v1.0.0-beta.3","v1.0.0-beta.2","v1.0.0-beta.1","v1.0.0-beta.0","v1.0.0-alpha.19","v1.0.0-alpha.18","v1.0.0-alpha.17","v1.0.0-alpha.16","v1.0.0-alpha.15","v1.0.0-alpha.14","v1.0.0-alpha.13","v1.0.0-alpha.12","v1.0.0-alpha.11","v1.0.0-alpha.10","v1.0.0-alpha.9","v1.0.0-alpha.8","v1.0.0-alpha.7","v1.0.0-alpha.6","v1.0.0-alpha.5","v1.0.0-alpha.4","v1.0.0-alpha.3","v1.0.0-alpha.2","v1.0.0-alpha.1","v1.0.0-alpha.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-40880.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:H/SA:H"}]}
