Description

A vulnerability in the Nimiq blockchain Rust implementation (up to version 1.5.0) causes a validity store off-by-one error that allows replaying signed transactions within a specific block window, resulting in double updates to sender and recipient balances. This flaw is fixed in version 1.5.1.
