ZcashFoundation zebra
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
Zebra（zebrad）6.2.1 之前的版本存在一个不对称的资源消耗漏洞，未经验证的节点可以通过发送带有无效 Halo2 证明的 V6 内存池交易，阻碍区块验证过程。攻击者可以向共享的、无优先级的 Halo2 验证队列中大量注入零手续费的交易，这些交易包含零填充的 Orchard 和 Ironwood 证明，从而导致节点落后于区块链的最新状态（链尖端）。

Vulnerability Title
Zebra before 6.2.1 Denial of Service via Uncapped V6 Shielded Proof Verification
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Zebra (zebrad) before 6.2.1 contains an asymmetric resource consumption vulnerability that allows unauthenticated peers to stall block verification by pushing V6 mempool transactions with invalid Halo2 proofs. Attackers can flood the shared unprioritized Halo2 verification queue with zero-fee transactions carrying zero-filled Orchard and Ironwood proofs, causing nodes to fall behind the chain tip.
