Luke Dashjr: The Bitcoin Core client vulnerability exploited by Inscription was assigned the identifier CVE-2023-50428

Bitcoin Core client developer Luke Dashjr previously stated that Inscription was exploiting a vulnerability in the Bitcoin Core client to send spam to the blockchain. Dashjr posted on the X platform that this vulnerability has been assigned the identifier CVE-2023-50428. According to previous news, Luke Dashjr posted on the additional data size limit at the time. Inscription circumvented this limit by obscuring its data into program code. This vulnerability was recently fixed in Bitcoin Knots V25.1. My workflow was severely disrupted due to late last year (V24 was Completely skipped), the fix is ​​taking longer than usual. Bitcoin Core is still vulnerable in the upcoming V26 release. I can only hope that it will be finally fixed before next year’s V27.”
