Which versions of Bsv Ruby Sdk are affected by EUVD-2026-20994?

BSV Ruby SDK versions 0.1.0 through 0.8.1 contain a transaction validation defect that allows remote attackers to bypass broadcast failure detection, causing applications to incorrectly treat failed…. A patch is available.

How to fix or mitigate EUVD-2026-20994?

Within 24 hours: Inventory all applications and services using BSV Ruby SDK and document current deployed versions; verify whether transaction broadcast responses are used for critical business logic decisions (payments, access control, fund transfers). Within 7 days: Contact BSV Ruby SDK maintainers for patch status and estimated release timeline; implement compensating control (see below) to validate all ARC response codes before accepting broadcast confirmation. Within 30 days: Deploy patched SDK version once available; conduct transaction audit for any periods where incomplete validation may have occurred; validate that all critical workflows now properly reject failed transaction statuses.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

BSV Ruby SDK is the Ruby SDK for the BSV blockchain. From 0.1.0 to before 0.8.2, BSV::Network::ARC's failure detection only recognises REJECTED and DOUBLE_SPEND_ATTEMPTED. ARC responses with txStatus values of INVALID, MALFORMED, MINED_IN_STALE_BLOCK, or any ORPHAN-containing extraInfo / txStatus are silently treated as successful broadcasts. Applications that gate actions on broadcaster success are tricked into trusting transactions that were never accepted by the network. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.2.

AnalysisAI

Incorrect transaction broadcast failure detection in BSV Ruby SDK 0.1.0 through 0.8.1 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate application logic by exploiting incomplete ARC response validation. The SDK's BSV::Network::ARC module only recognizes REJECTED and DOUBLE_SPEND_ATTEMPTED status codes as failures, silently treating INVALID, MALFORMED, MINED_IN_STALE_BLOCK, and ORPHAN-containing responses as successful broadcasts. Applications relying on broadcast confirmation for gating critical actions accept failed transactions as valid, enabling integrity compromise in blockchain-dependent workflows. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

Root cause stems from incomplete enumeration of failure conditions (CWE-754) in ARC transaction status parsing logic. The network broadcast handler implements a whitelist approach that only validates two explicit failure states, defaulting all unrecognized ARC protocol responses to success. This creates a logic gap where multiple legitimate failure statuses bypass detection, violating fail-secure principles in blockchain transaction validation workflows.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to BSV Ruby SDK version 0.8.2 or later, which implements comprehensive ARC response validation covering all documented failure states. The fix expands failure detection logic to correctly identify INVALID, MALFORMED, MINED_IN_STALE_BLOCK, and ORPHAN status codes. Review application logic that depends on broadcast success confirmation to ensure proper error handling for previously misclassified failures. No workaround available for unpatched versions; applications using affected versions should prioritize immediate upgrade to prevent transaction validation bypass.
