ETK-2026-2013Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
midnight-ledger transaction handling can interpret aliased serialized map entries inconsistently between validation and application. An attacker may mint unshielded tokens other than NIGHT without spending a corresponding input, provided a target non-NIGHT unshielded token type exists; normal builds are affected without special runtime configuration.
mitigation
Upgrade the affected midnight-ledger package to version 8.1.2. Until upgraded, restrict exposure to untrusted transaction submission where operationally possible.
fixed in 8.1.2
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
