Docker deployments now disable Tor by default and streamline integrations, as BTCPay Server releases 2.4.5 security update

Odaily reports that Bitcoin News posted on X that BTCPay Server has released version 2.4.5, strengthening Lightning and LNURL security and improving invoice generation performance. This version makes Tor optional in Docker deployments, limits the scope of public Lightning API exposure, and removes multiple deprecated or unmaintained integrations. All server administrators are advised to update, and operators relying on Tor or affected integrations should first review deployment changes. The Plugin Builder, which was previously suspended due to a server breach, has reopened, with build tasks now running in temporary isolated sandboxes, and new security controls including build output verification, administrator audit logs, new account and build notifications.
