Bitcoin Lightning Network developer Antoine Riard has disclosed a major vulnerability in the network and has decided to leave the project. Riard claims that intentional backdoors were implemented in the Lightning Network's source code, allowing potential attackers to gain full control over the network. He believes that a sustainable fix can only happen at the base-layer due to a new class of replacement cycling attacks. Bitcoin developers are divided on the severity of the vulnerability.
