Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Flaws in cryptographic signature checking and reference validation allowed bypasses of payment request verifications and let unauthenticated data corrupt address books. Implementing strict verification against sender public keys is critical here.
Auth Bypass: Missing constraints on identity registration and importing allowed existing wallet profiles to be overwritten without user authorization, potentially destroying or hijacking active profiles.
Cryptographic Issues: Credentials and keys were previously stored in unencrypted form or derived with insufficient cryptographic strength. This was hardened by introducing PBKDF2 encryption based on the user's PIN and increasing key derivation iteration parameters.
