Summary: on 7 August a critical vulnerability was disclosed in BTCPay Server, the open-source software we self-host to accept Bitcoin payments.

Annual security audit scheduled for 2026

Posted on June 19, 2026 by Nick Pestell

Consistent with our commitment to regular independent security audits, we have scheduled our eighth annual security audit with Cure53, to be conducted over the course of two weeks in July. As in previous years, audits target systems and services that have undergone significant updates and where review provides the most value to customers in terms of security and auditability.
