Analysis

BTCPay Server faces an actively exploited critical vulnerability that can drain funds, prompting an urgent update to version 2.4.2 via the Admin Dashboard maintenance path, according to the project's official advisory shared by Dan Held.

Operators unable to patch right away must power down their instances to block unauthorized access. BTC price action shows $64829.39 testing the upper Bollinger Band at $65081.43 while the MACD golden cross at 262.91 reinforces the bullish EMA50 support at $64157.51 and EMA200 floor at $63658.76, with RSI at 59.54 leaving room for continuation before any volatility exhaustion pulls price back inside the $63874.34 lower band.
