nimiq/core-rs-albatross is a Rust implementation of the Nimiq Proof-of-Stake protocol based on the Albatross consensus algorithm. Prior to version 1.3.0, an elected validator proposer can send an election macro block whose header.interlink does not match the canonical next interlink. Honest validators accept that proposal in verify_macro_block_proposal() because the proposal path validates header shape, successor relation, proposer, body root, and state, but never checks the interlink binding for election blocks. The same finalized block is later rejected by verify_block() during push with InvalidInterlink. Because validators prevote and precommit the malformed header hash itself, the failure happens after Tendermint decides the block, not before voting. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.0.

Title: core-rs-albatross de nimiq, Description: nimiq/core-rs-albatross es una implementación en Rust del protocolo Nimiq Proof-of-Stake basado en el algoritmo de consenso Albatross. Antes de la versión 1.3.0, un proponente validador elegido puede enviar un macrobloque de elección cuyo header.interlink no coincide con el siguiente interlink canónico. Los validadores honestos aceptan esa propuesta en verify_macro_block_proposal() porque la ruta de la propuesta valida la forma del encabezado, la relación de sucesor, el proponente, la raíz del cuerpo y el estado, pero nunca verifica la vinculación del interlink para los bloques de elección. El mismo bloque finalizado es posteriormente rechazado por verify_block() durante el push con InvalidInterlink. Debido a que los validadores prevotan y preconfirman el hash del encabezado malformado en sí, la falla ocurre después de que Tendermint decide el bloque, no antes de la votación. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 1.3.0.
