Consensus failure in Zebra nodes before 4.3.1 allows remote attackers to trigger network partitioning by submitting V4 or V5 transactions with invalid sighash hash types. After a refactoring removed critical validation logic from C++ FFI code, Zebra failed to enforce consensus rules restricting hash type values in transparent transaction signatures, creating divergence from zcashd nodes. Attackers can exploit this remotely without authentication (CVSS:4.0 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) to partition the Zcash network and enable potential double-spend attacks. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but GitHub advisory (GHSA-8m29-fpq5-89jj) confirms the attack mechanism and vendor-released patches are available.
