**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Bitcoin Core versions prior to 24.1 **Description** The issue allows attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically CPU consumption, because draining the inventory-to-send queue is inefficient. This has been exploited in the wild in May 2023. **Recommendations** For Bitcoin Core versions prior to 24.1, update to version 24.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider enabling debug mode to mitigate the risk of CPU consumption attacks. Restrict access to the inventory-to-send queue to minimize the risk of exploitation.
