11
+
12
+ A security release. One verifier accepted a forged proof outright; another accepted eight tampered
13
+ certificates. Both defects are the same shape: **a field that looks checked and is not.**
14
+
15
+ ### Security — `ZKProver.verifyMembershipProof` accepted a forged proof
16
+
17
+ It took the proof alone and returned
18
+
19
+ ```js
20
+ proof.setCommitments.includes(proof.valueCommitment) && proof.isMember
21
+ ```
22
+
23
+ where **every value in that expression came from the prover**. Nothing bound the commitments to a
24
+ set the verifier knew, nothing opened the value commitment, and `isMember` was the prover's own
25
+ claim. So this returned `true`:
26
+
27
+ ```js
28
+ verifyMembershipProof({ type: 'MembershipProof',
29
+ setCommitments: ['x'], valueCommitment: 'x', isMember: true })
30
+ ```
31
+
32
+ A forgery needed no key, no salt and no set. This is the same defect `verifyAgeProof` and
33
+ `verifyRangeProof` had before 8.2.0, in the one function that fix did not reach.
34
+
35
+ The verifier now takes `(proof, opening, set)`: the **verifier** supplies the set it believes in,
36
+ the holder supplies `{ value, salt }`, both commitments are recomputed, the prover's array must
37
+ equal the verifier's set commitment-for-commitment in order — so a prover cannot append one — and
38
+ membership is decided against the verifier's set. `proof.isMember` is no longer consulted.
39
+ `generateMembershipProof` now returns the `salt` so a holder can build the opening.
40
+
41
+ This is **not zero-knowledge and cannot be**, consistent with this module's header note. One salt
42
+ covers every member, so a verifier holding the set and the salt can recompute every commitment, and
43
+ a low-entropy set is not hidden from anyone who sees the proof. The honest claim is "this value is
44
+ in a set the verifier already holds" — a membership *check*. A caller needing the value or set
45
+ hidden needs a different primitive; per-attribute fresh salts under an issuer-signed RFC 6962 root
46
+ is the construction to reach for.
47
+
48
+ Reported against 9.19.0 by a consumer that had reviewed these proofs in July and re-tested them.
49
+ **No test in this repository covered the forged path** — the suite count did not move when the fix
50
+ landed.
51
+
52
+ ### Security — `NotaryHash.verify` accepted eight tampered certificates
53
+
54
+ Each is a single edited field, covered by no signature and checked by nothing, on one real mainnet
55
+ batch certificate (block 954784):
56
+
57
+ | case | change | now |
58
+ |---|---|---|
59
+ | T01 | `anchor.blockTime` + 3600 | refused |
60
+ | T02 | `anchor.blockTime` − 100000000 | refused |
61
+ | T03 | `anchor.blockHeight` − 1000 | refused |
62
+ | T05 | `anchor.vout` = 1 (a payment output) | refused |
63
+ | T06 | `anchor.vout` = 99 (past the last output) | refused |
64
+ | T07 | `spv.merkleProof.index` + 2^(nodes+3) | refused |
65
+ | T19 | `createdAt` `.000Z` → `.123Z` | refused |
66
+ | T20 | `createdAt` `.000Z` → `Z` | refused |
67
+
68
+ The rules now enforced:
69
+
70
+ - **`anchor.blockTime` must equal the time in the 80-byte header**, and `anchor.blockHeight` must
71
+ equal `spv.blockHeight`. A `null` is not a claim — a certificate issued before confirmation
72
+ legitimately carries nulls, and only a stated value is checked.
73
+ - **The record is read from `anchor.vout` and no other output.** Scanning every output made
74
+ `anchor.vout` decorative: it could name a payment output, or one past the end, and the record was
75
+ still found elsewhere in the transaction.
76
+ - **A TSC `index` must fit its path.** A path of n nodes addresses at most 2^n leaves, so a larger
77
+ index describes a tree the path cannot belong to.
78
+ - **`createdAt` must be the canonical rendering of its second**, in the reference format. The
79
+ proofHash commits to `createdAtUnix`, so `...04.000Z`, `...04.527Z` and `...04Z` produce the
80
+ **same** commitment — the sub-second component is not covered by the proof at all. Applied to the
81
+ reference format only: certificates written by 8.3.0–9.8.0 carry a millisecond component, exist
82
+ in the wild, and are still read.
83
+
84
+ Verified against an external 27-case oracle with seven pinned mainnet headers: **27/27 agreement**,
85
+ with both honest cases still accepted.
86
+
87
+ Found and measured independently by two consumer sessions — the verification API that uses this
88
+ library as a second, independent anchor verifier, and the NotaryHash SDK session whose SPEC the
89
+ rules come from. The eight were reproduced here with a separate harness before any change.

+
91
+ ## [9.19.0] - 2026-10-03
92
+
93
+ ### Security — `merkle.leafIndex` was not validated against the path beside it
94
+
95
+ A batch certificate's `merkle.leafIndex` could be changed to any other value in range and the
96
+ inclusion proof still verified. On a 25-leaf batch, a proof for leaf 3 verified while claiming to
97
+ be leaf 0, leaf 7 or leaf 24.
98
+
99
+ The cause is a seam between the two certificate formats. A sided audit path folds by its **own**
100
+ sides, and `Certificate.normalize` returns a non-legacy certificate untouched — so for a
101
+ **reference** certificate `leafIndex` was read and never used. A **legacy** certificate was fine,
102
+ because normalising it derives the sides from `leafIndex`, so a wrong index produced a wrong fold
103
+ and failed. Moving a certificate from the legacy format to the reference one therefore silently
104
+ lost a check.
105
+
106
+ **This was never a false accept of an invalid proof.** A corrupted path hash and a flipped side
107
+ were both refused before this release and are refused now; inclusion itself was sound. What was
108
+ wrong is that `leafIndex` was an **unvalidated assertion sitting beside validated ones**, and a
109
+ reader shown "leaf 3 of 25" had no way to tell which of those fields was load-bearing. For a
110
+ numbered edition — "card 3 of 25" — that field is the claim the holder cares about.
111
+
112
+ `NotaryHash.verifyBatchInclusion` now recomputes the side sequence the stated index implies and
113
+ refuses a mismatch, naming it:
114
+
115
+ ```
116
+ merkle.leafIndex 7 disagrees with the path: node 2 is marked "right" but leaf 7 of 25 requires "left"
117
+ merkle.leafIndex 24 in a tree of 25 leaves needs 2 path nodes; the path has 5
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ No hashing is added: RFC 6962 already determines the sides from the index and the tree size, so
121
+ the check is one pass over the path. Verified across a 25-leaf tree that every leaf verifies at its
122
+ own index and **every leaf is refused at any other index**, 25 of 25.
123
+
124
+ `leafCount` is deliberately not treated the same way. A mis-stated count that implies the same side
125
+ sequence is indistinguishable here by construction, which is exactly what the on-chain
126
+ `u32be(leafCount)` in the batch record is for — `recordMatchesCertificate` compares it, and that
127
+ comparison is the authority.
128
+
129
+ Found by the ordinals mint that anchors BRC-220 proofs: its own tamper test caught the difference
130
+ when it moved from the legacy format to the reference one, and it reported the seam rather than
131
+ the symptom.
