Findings

SC-002 · HIGH · Broadcast payload linked to a transport session

Observed behavior: Accepted submission and identical mempool bytes observed within the configured window.

Possible consequence: The RPC observer can associate these submitted bytes with this connection; this does not identify a person.

Affected component: lightwalletd broadcast transport

Investigation: Review the server trust model and whether an independent broadcast path reduces the observer's linkability.
