BTCPay Server Merges API Key Permissions Fix, Patch Not Yet in Official Release
(4 hours ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto
A fix for an API key permissions issue in BTCPay Server has been merged into the project's codebase. However, the latest official release of BTCPay Server was published before the patch was merged, meaning users running the current release version may still be affected.
WHY IT MATTERS
BTCPay Server is a popular tool that lets merchants accept Bitcoin payments on their own terms, without needing a middleman like a traditional payment company. Think of an API key like a keycard for a building — it is supposed to only open certain doors. In this case, a keycard that was meant to open just one door could potentially open others it was not supposed to. The fix has been written and accepted by the developers, but it has not yet been included in the version most people would download and install. This is a common situation in open-source software: patches are often merged into the code before they appear in an official update that regular users receive.
