Critical Alby Hub flaw lets attackers drain internet-exposed Bitcoin wallets

Alby warned of a critical flaw in older versions of Alby Hub, a self-hosted Bitcoin Lightning wallet that people run on their own computer or server to hold their funds. An attacker who could reach the wallet's management interface over the internet could gain access without permission and send the owner's funds. The flaw affects versions 1.7.0 through 1.18.5, released before August 2025, and was fixed in 1.19.0 and later, with 1.24.0 the current release. Alby says one user has been affected so far and is withholding technical details for now. The core lesson is to never expose a self-hosted wallet's control interface to the public internet.

Check
If you run Alby Hub, remove any public internet access to its management interface first, then update to the current release, and check exposed instances for unauthorized access or unexpected outgoing payments.
Affected
Owners of self-hosted Alby Hub Lightning wallets on versions 1.7.0 through 1.18.5 reachable from the internet; an attacker reaching the management interface could take control of the wallet and send bitcoin.
Fix
Update Alby Hub to the current version, keep the wallet's management interface off the public internet behind a VPN or local network, use strong unique credentials, and monitor for unexpected transactions.

SonicWall patches three SonicOS firewall flaws after CrowdStrike disclosed them - the worst lets attackers reach the management interface without logging in (CVE-2026-0204)

SonicWall released emergency firmware updates for Gen 6, Gen 7, and Gen 8 firewalls after CrowdStrike's research team disclosed three SonicOS flaws on April 29. The worst is CVE-2026-0204 (CVSS 8.0), a weak authentication bug in the management interface that lets an attacker on an adjacent network reach management functions without logging in - and from there change firewall rules, disable security protections, or open new holes. The other two are post-authentication: CVE-2026-0205 is a path traversal that breaks out of restricted directories, and CVE-2026-0206 is a buffer overflow that crashes the firewall. No public exploits yet.

Check
Patch every SonicWall Gen 6, Gen 7, and Gen 8 firewall to the latest firmware today, and confirm no SonicWall management interface or SSL-VPN is reachable from the public internet.
Affected
Gen 6 firewalls (TZ 300/400/500/600, NSA, SM, SOHO) running 6.5.5.1-6n or older. Gen 7 firewalls and NSv (TZ270-TZ670, NSa 2700-6700, NSsp, NSv on ESX/KVM/Hyper-V/AWS/Azure) running 7.0.1-5169 or 7.3.1-7013 or older. Gen 8 (TZ80-TZ680, NSa 2800-5800) running 8.1.0-8017 or older.
Fix
Upgrade to Gen 8 firmware 8.2.0-8009, Gen 7 firmware 7.3.2-7010, or Gen 6 6.5.5.2-28n. Until patched, disable HTTP and HTTPS firewall management on all interfaces, disable SSL-VPN, and restrict management to SSH only from trusted IPs. Take a full configuration backup before upgrading Gen 6 - downgrading from 6.5.5.2-28n deletes all LDAP users and resets MFA.
