Bitcoin Core 0.13.0 through 29.x has an integer overflow.

Bitcoin Core through 29.0 allows a denial of service via a crafted transaction.

Bitcoin Core through 29.0 allows Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (issue 2 of 2).

Bitcoin Core through 29.0 allows Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (issue 1 of 2).

Bitcoin Core through 27.2 allows transaction-relay jamming via an off-chain protocol attack, a related issue to CVE-2024-52913. For example, the outcome of an HTLC (Hashed Timelock Contract) can be changed because a flood of transaction traffic prevents propagation of certain Lightning channel transactions.

In Bitcoin Core before 25.1, an attacker can cause a node to not download the latest block, because there can be minutes of delay when an announcing peer stalls instead of complying with the peer-to-peer protocol specification.

In Bitcoin Core before 25.0, a peer can affect the download state of other peers by sending a mutated block.

Bitcoin Core before 0.20.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed GETDATA message.

Bitcoin Core before 22.0 has a CAddrMan nIdCount integer overflow and resultant assertion failure (and daemon exit) via a flood of addr messages.

Bitcoin Core before 22.0 has a miniupnp infinite loop in which it allocates memory on the basis of random data received over the network, e.g., large M-SEARCH replies from a fake UPnP device.

Bitcoin Core before 0.15.0 allows a denial of service (OOM kill of a daemon process) via a flood of minimum difficulty headers.

Bitcoin Core before 0.20.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted INV message.

In Bitcoin Core before 0.18.0, a node could be stalled for hours when processing the orphans of a crafted unconfirmed transaction.

In Bitcoin Core before 0.21.0, an attacker could prevent a node from seeing a specific unconfirmed transaction, because transaction re-requests are mishandled.

Bitcoin Core before 0.21.0 allows a network split that is resultant from an integer overflow (calculating the time offset for newly connecting peers) and an abs64 logic bug.

Bitcoin Core before 24.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a flood of low-difficulty header chains (aka a "Chain Width Expansion" attack) because a node does not first verify that a presented chain has enough work before committing to store it.

Bitcoin Core before 25.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (blocktxn message-handling assertion and node exit) by including transactions in a blocktxn message that are not committed to in a block's merkle root. FillBlock can be called twice for one PartiallyDownloadedBlock instance.

In Bitcoin Core through 26.0 and Bitcoin Knots before 25.1.knots20231115, datacarrier size limits can be bypassed by obfuscating data as code (e.g., with OP_FALSE OP_IF), as exploited in the wild by Inscriptions in 2022 and 2023. NOTE: although this is a vulnerability from the perspective of the Bitcoin Knots project, some others consider it "not a bug."

Memory management and protection issues in Bitcoin Core v22 allows attackers to modify the stored sending address within the app's memory, potentially allowing them to redirect Bitcoin transactions to wallets of their own choosing.

Bitcoin Core before 24.1, when debug mode is not used, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (e.g., CPU consumption) because draining the inventory-to-send queue is inefficient, as exploited in the wild in May 2023.

Bitcoin Core 0.12.0 through 0.21.1 does not properly implement the replacement policy specified in BIP125, which makes it easier for attackers to trigger a loss of funds, or a denial of service attack against downstream projects such as Lightning network nodes. An unconfirmed child transaction with nSequence = 0xff_ff_ff_ff, spending an unconfirmed parent with nSequence <= 0xff_ff_ff_fd, should be replaceable because there is inherited signaling by the child transaction. However, the actual PreChecks implementation does not enforce this. Instead, mempool rejects the replacement attempt of the unconfirmed child transaction.

Bitcoin Core before 0.19.0 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code when another application unsafely passes the -platformpluginpath argument to the bitcoin-qt program, as demonstrated by an x-scheme-handler/bitcoin handler for a .desktop file or a web browser. NOTE: the discoverer states "I believe that this vulnerability cannot actually be exploited."

bitcoind in Bitcoin Core through 0.21.0 can create a new file in an arbitrary directory (e.g., outside the ~/.bitcoin directory) via a dumpwallet RPC call. NOTE: this reportedly does not violate the security model of Bitcoin Core, but can violate the security model of a fork that has implemented dumpwallet restrictions

Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 allows remote denial of service.

Bitcoin Core 0.16.x before 0.16.2 and Bitcoin Knots 0.16.x before 0.16.2 allow remote denial of service via a flood of multiple transaction inv messages with random hashes, aka INVDoS. NOTE: this can also affect other cryptocurrencies, e.g., if they were forked from Bitcoin Core after 2017-11-15.
