HIGH 7.5REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-73136 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting machine payments protocol. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay in ZenHive mpp allows an unauthenticated third party to obtain paid resources by replaying a transfer settled by an unrelated payer. MPP.Methods.Tempo normally binds a settled TIP-20 TransferWithMemo to the specific challenge under verification through an attribution nonce carried in the memo. When a static "memo" is configured in method_config, check_matched_memo_binding/3 returns the match unconditionall

zenhive machine payments protocol UPGRADE

Affected: >= 0.6.1 and < 0.6.4

Fixed in: 0.6.4

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.6.1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy machine-payments-protocol || rpm -q machine-payments-protocol || machine-payments-protocol --version

2. UPGRADE to 0.6.4 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade machine-payments-protocol

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade machine-payments-protocol

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.6.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison machine-payments-protocol sudo apt install machine-payments-protocol=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.6.1> sudo apt-mark hold machine-payments-protocol

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list machine-payments-protocol sudo dnf downgrade machine-payments-protocol-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.6.1> sudo dnf versionlock add machine-payments-protocol

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
