ChainThink report, on November 10, Bitcoin Core disclosed a medium-severity vulnerability CVE-2025-62860. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 28.3, 29.2, and 30.0.

Due to external connections accessing via Tor using the local Tor software's IP address, if this address matches the trusted IP range configured via the -whitelist option, Bitcoin Core may erroneously add the associated connection to the whitelist, thereby bypassing anti-DoS protections and privacy mitigation measures intended for trusted nodes.

Nodes not configured with a non-default -whitelist option are unaffected.
