Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Integer Overflow: Silent overflows in custom big-integer multiplication carry logic and decimal-to-bigint parsing can lead to severe calculation errors or state corruption in systems relying on precise U256 math.
Information Disclosure: Unreliable or missing key zeroization on drop can leave sensitive cryptographic keys resident in memory, exposing them to unauthorized extraction through memory dumps or swap space.
Information Disclosure: Failing to allocate secret keys with proper heap isolation and explicit zeroization allows sensitive key material to linger in memory blocks that may be reassigned or exposed.
