Scott MelkerHOST
It's now public.
Scott MelkerHOST
So these were three flaws that basically were found by Bitcoin Core, and they decided to my superficial reading of this, to put them out in the public so that people could fix them.
Scott MelkerHOST
But just another display of good versus bad AI.
Scott MelkerHOST
Do you tell the world so that they can fix it? Or does that make the black hats realize that they have a chance to hack you? Don't know.
MattHOST
Yes, it discovers three Bitcoin security flaws.
MattHOST
Bitcoin Core developers disclosed these three security vulnerabilities discovered through artificial intelligence, including one that could have remotely crashed Bitcoin nodes while running on Windows Mac computers.
MattHOST
Developers verified these findings and released fixes before publicly disclosing the vulnerabilities.
MattHOST
Three additional vulnerabilities are expected to be discovered in approximately two weeks, highlighting how AI is accelerating in both software security reaches and potential threats.
MattHOST
creating a huge bank account because not only are they going to get a find um they're going to have to revamp their whole process this is my prediction this is my prediction but again i've been surprised more times than not what are we going to watch today by the way Is Bitcoin going to stabilize at 80 or is it going to go up? Inflation.
MattHOST
U.S. inflation data could change their expectations for the Fed's next interest rate decision.
MattHOST
Will Bitcoin funds start to extend their three-day inflow streak? Meaning, will we get Thursday inflows or will we have a little bit of outflows? And what is Bitcoin Core going to do? What are they going to say about any new potential threats to bitcoin because of ai because of them finding vulnerabilities let's take a look at some crypto prices bitcoin is sitting at 80 000 even down 1.4 percent in 24 ethereum is at 2320 down 1.4 percent in 24 Tyler's number three.
MattHOST
Binance is at 738, down 2.7%.
speaker_0HOST
Let's get into it.
speaker_0HOST
First, Bitcoin Core publicly disclosed three vulnerabilities on October 28th, 2026.
speaker_0HOST
That makes this a patch day for anyone running a node.
speaker_0HOST
They are fixed in releases 29.5, 30.4, 31.2, and 32.1. Rod Palmer, a Bitcoin podcaster and journalist at the Bitcoin Bugle, flagged the disclosures on X.
speaker_0HOST
The third flaw is an undo file overflow that can corrupt undo data.
speaker_0HOST
It is rated low severity and described as impractical to exploit.
speaker_0HOST
A fix for 64-bit systems was released in those Bitcoin Core versions.
speaker_0HOST
32-bit systems and nodes storing blocks on an older file system format remain affected.
Ben PerrinHOST
four months that is how long data vault a publicly traded bitcoin treasury company says it's been stuck trying to withdraw its own bitcoin from an exchange uh and their stock is now showing that reality uh plus the fed held rates while two officials pushed for a hike And 70,000 Coinbase users just had their details leaked.
Ben PerrinHOST
And finally, I've got here queued up, teed up to watch in a little bit, perhaps the strangest Bitcoin Core vulnerability disclosure I've ever seen.
Ben PerrinHOST
So we're going to give that a watch in a little bit too.
Ben PerrinHOST
Strap in.
50 MINS LATER
Ben PerrinHOST
But also, it seems they may have... joined the race in a meaningful way to be near the top of the spots with their latest frontier model too.
Ben PerrinHOST
So we're going to cover that in a second.
Ben PerrinHOST
And then also probably the weirdest bug disclosure for Bitcoin Core I've ever seen.
Ben PerrinHOST
But I'm going to play a little video after the break too.
Jamil HasanHOST
He was also one of the only people I interviewed who ever thought that Bitcoin BSV had value and was a real Bitcoin.
Jamil HasanHOST
So I wanted to find out what your perspective is on the Bitcoin BSV versus Bitcoin Core.
Jamil HasanHOST
And what did working there teach you about your own ambitions? And what were you willing to think about and reconsider as a part of being that experience?
Richard MengGUEST
That's a long time ago, actually.
Brandon BlackHOST
Anyway, so there's all that kind of going into considerations of how to build these to help users effectively retain their spend conditions secrecy as needed.
João DiasGUEST
Yeah, because right now, again, in the Bitcoin Core CLI, you can do the create wallet and then by default, the argument disable private keys is disabled so that if you can import a a private key, even if you specify like the public key and then private key inside of it, your wallet is going to store that into the file and use that while signing transactions, right? The hash is different because, again, it is going to have the same size of the preimage and it's going to be converted to the script up size 32, up equal verify so that it verifies the size first and then do the hash up, whatever it is, and then the digest up equal.
João DiasGUEST
So it verifies if the hash you're using matches what you previously committed to the address.
João DiasGUEST
I was expecting to have some similar feature for it.
João DiasGUEST
My first idea is just to have this pre-image marker, and this will be the simplest way to build this feature.
João DiasGUEST
But at the same time, should I create a new bit for it, or should I, like, added the existing descriptor one, the 379, I think.
João DiasGUEST
And there is other stuff that we can also do in the future, like add new RPC or complimentary RPC calls into Bitcoin Core.
João DiasGUEST
Should we leave this for software wallets only or should hardware wallets implement this? And I know that for some other protocols, like Lightning implementations, they do have pre-images, but they handle this in a deterministic way.
Ricky ZhangHOST
privacy in certain degrees, certain domains will be absolutely paramount.
Ricky ZhangHOST
The classic example, that's relevant to the times is something like Bitcoin Core, right? How did, there was one organization that carried sort of the Bitcoin reference implementation, so the default software of Bitcoin.
Ricky ZhangHOST
There was one team, one set of people who was working on that software.
Ricky ZhangHOST
And over time they became kyc right over time they became choke points over time they became identified they became they had incentives dangled in front of them and like most human beings they responded to incentives and we we observed for the past year or so okay what problems that emerged out of that right human beings who are and these human beings They were just developers.
PhilHOST
Hopefully, we don't go down that road, but it did make me start to want to review again, right, how the node distribution works.
PhilHOST
So, of course, you can see here, right, like Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Knots, Unknown, BTCD, CKCoinD, Bcoin, Bitcoin Classic, Unlimited, UTreeXO node.
PhilHOST
And there's also, if I'm not mistaken, there's also Libitcoin.
PhilHOST
as well i don't even i don't even know why that's not listed but i guess it's just because it's not in the in the top 10 um but either way my point is is that in under each and every one of these are different versions right so like everybody who's running bitcoin core isn't even running the same version of bitcoin core so it does beg the question like what is the true definition of the reference implementation what really is that definition No, I am definitely not running my Bitcoin unlimited node.
PhilHOST
I don't have one.
PhilHOST
Reachable and known? I don't know.
Ryle McFlugelHOST
It's been frustrating the last week or so in the Bitcoin space for kind of a variety of reasons.
Ryle McFlugelHOST
But there's, you know, there's been some of us that are trying to really advocate hard for using Bitcoin Core and generic hardware.
Ryle McFlugelHOST
And it's amazing that basically no one learned their lesson about hardware wallets.
Ryle McFlugelHOST
Not
Slappy JonesHOST
shocking.
Ryle McFlugelHOST
Yeah.
Ryle McFlugelHOST
As I predicted, people are using AI in the worst way possible to vibe code whether it's creating entropy for their wallets you know how to you know they do their their coin flips or dice rolls and then they use ai to do an algorithm to turn that into a seed phrase or there's this one thing i forgot what it's something entropy lab or something that uh they vibe coded uh this software in HTML that basically sets up something like a, I think, I think they're trying to do like a bit 39 seed for Bitcoin core and they vibe coded it in HTML.
Ryle McFlugelHOST
And right now on the website says like, Oh, don't use this for actual Bitcoin.
speaker_0HOST
Our view is simple.
speaker_0HOST
The floor sat in the wallet software, not in Bitcoin Core or the network.
speaker_0HOST
The malicious servers were the attack vector.
speaker_0HOST
So update to 4.8.3 right now.
