Note

Addresses a security issue in the p2p ECIES layer and publishes a new beta.

  • Tightens ciphertext validation in crypto/ecies/ecies.go by requiring rLen + hLen + params.BlockSize (ensuring IV presence) instead of + 1 in Decrypt
  • Bumps version metadata to beta.17 in params/version.go
  • Adds v1.0.0-beta.17 entry to CHANGELOG.md noting the security fix (CVE-2026-22868)
