- Bitcoin Core disclosed CVE-2025-62860 on Nov. 10
- Incoming Tor connections could receive trusted-node permissions
- Thousands of Bitcoin nodes were affected, according to Crypto.news
- BTC trades at $67,221, down 1.21% over 24 hours
Bitcoin Core disclosed a Tor-related vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-62860 in a security publication dated Nov. 10. According to Crypto.news, the issue could give incoming Tor connections permissions normally associated with trusted nodes, affecting thousands of Bitcoin nodes.
The reported impact extends beyond ordinary network access. Crypto.news says the trust permissions removed some protections designed to prevent spam and privacy leaks, creating a potential route for unintended traffic or information exposure through connections arriving over Tor. The supplied coverage does not provide an exact node count, affected software versions or remediation details.
The disclosure concerns Bitcoin Core and the Tor-based access path to its peer network. Because the flaw reportedly affected thousands of nodes, the exposure was distributed across a substantial portion of the network rather than being confined to one operator or installation. Crypto.news is the only supplied outlet covering the advisory, so no independent cross-publisher corroboration is available.
Live market data show Bitcoin at $67,221, down 1.21% over 24 hours and 11.49% over seven days. Its market capitalization stands at $1.35 trillion, while the total crypto market capitalization is $2.34T amid a broadly declining market. The Fear & Greed Index is at 13, placing sentiment in Extreme Fear. The available figures establish market context but do not establish that the vulnerability disclosure caused Bitcoin's decline. For follow-up, the relevant items are the full technical scope of the advisory, which nodes and software versions were exposed, and the remediation guidance issued by developers.
