Lower-prioritywire: make ble message handling use the same logic as other inputsby Jon Griffiths · 52227215 · May 1, 2026 · 7 filesMessage 73 · AdequateLow 48Details

wire: make ble message handling use the same logic as other inputs

The ble logic was the only user of reject_incomplete, which it used to
process existing buffer data inconsistently.

Now that all handlers use the same logic we can investigate strategies
for attempting to re-sync message streams when an error occurs.

AI analysis · Low 48/100

This commit refactors how Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) messages are handled in the Blockstream Jade hardware wallet so that BLE uses the same message-parsing path as USB serial and TCP (QEMU). Previously, BLE had a special 'reject_incomplete' flag that could discard buffered data when the buffer was full. The change removes that special-case logic and makes all input sources feed data the same way. The commit message frames this as a cleanup that enables future work on recovering from message-stream errors, not as a security fix. There is no direct evidence in the diff of an exploitable vulnerability, but unifying input handling reduces the chance of subtle BLE-only bugs such as partial-message truncation or inconsistent state.

This commit only changes a test file. It removes a workaround that previously skipped large QR code tests on Jade v1.1 hardware because of serial timeouts. The commit message says a separate fix now allows the device to process valid data received after a timeout, so the test skip is no longer needed. There is no change to production firmware or wallet security logic in this commit.

This commit only adds a new test case to the project's test file. It does not change any production code, fix a bug, or alter device behavior. The test checks that a hardware wallet correctly handles two messages sent back-to-back, even when the data is split across two writes and when a delay is inserted between the writes. There is no security issue in this change itself.

Require any candidate message be a valid map up-front since this is a

AI analysis · Low 37/100

This commit refactors the code that reads incoming messages on a Blockstream Jade hardware wallet. The main change is that the device now checks up-front whether incoming bytes form a valid CBOR 'map' (a structured data format) before treating them as a real RPC command. It also changes how stale or oversized data is rejected. The commit message and diff do not claim to fix a specific security bug, but the refactor tightens input validation and removes some timeout-driven rejection logic. The test changes enable previously skipped message tests for the 'libjade' build.

libjade: handle received bytes in the same way as the serial device

This allows testing the real world comms behaviour using libjade,
with the exception that BLE message handling is currently different
to both (and arguably incorrect).

AI analysis · Low 29/100

This change updates how the libjade test/development library feeds data into the Jade firmware's message handler. Previously, large messages could be rejected outright if they exceeded the input buffer. Now, data is fed in chunks, matching how real serial-port data arrives. The commit message says this is for testing real-world communication behavior, and it explicitly notes that Bluetooth message handling is still different. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an exploitable security bug.

This commit changes how message context is passed between functions in the Blockstream Jade hardware wallet firmware. Instead of copying the entire message context structure on the stack, functions now receive a pointer to it. The stated goal is to reduce stack memory usage. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an exploitable vulnerability, but reducing stack pressure can help prevent stack overflow crashes or corruption in a security-critical embedded device.

✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Provides detailed explanatory context
AI analysis · Informational 18/100

This commit is a small memory-optimization cleanup. It removes several large, permanently allocated output buffers used only to send short 'message rejected' error replies, replacing them with a tiny temporary buffer on the function call stack. There is no direct security bug being fixed here; it is primarily a resource-saving change. However, using stack memory instead of heap memory slightly reduces the attack surface related to heap allocation misuse, and the new code is more careful about buffer sizes.

wire: fix not processing all received data when wire.c timeout hit

Minor code cleanup to make the existing logic clearer.

65/100 · AdequateMessage clarity
✓ Specific, descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Provides an explanatory body
AI analysis · Low 35/100

This commit fixes a bug in how Blockstream Jade processes incoming messages when a communication timeout occurs. Previously, if old, partial data was sitting in the buffer when new data arrived after a timeout, the code would discard the old bytes and move only the new bytes to the start of the buffer, potentially ignoring any complete message that could be formed by combining the old and new data. The fix changes the logic so that, after a timeout, the code still tries to process all bytes in the buffer together, only rejecting incomplete data if no complete message can be parsed. The commit also renames a parameter for clarity. There is no explicit vendor statement that this is a security fix, and no CVE or researcher attribution is present in the materials.

tests: allow running a sample of test cases, enable for qemu

qemu even on a fast host is very slow. Reduce the coverage for CI runs
on a random basis, since we now have libjade and the hardware units
both providing full coverage.

This commit only changes how automated tests are run. It adds an option to run a random 33% sample of test cases when testing in a slow emulator (QEMU), in order to save CI time. It does not change any wallet, firmware, or cryptographic code that end users interact with.

ota: add a timeout argument to jade_ota.py

Use this to extend the timeout for qemu CI testing.

This change simply adds a user-configurable timeout to a serial connection script used for firmware updates, and uses a longer timeout during automated testing in a simulated (QEMU) environment. There is no security issue here.

coverage: replace coverage support with libjade coverage

Removes the GCOV entry from the get_version_info RPC result.

This commit is a straightforward maintenance change: it removes the old firmware-level gcov code-coverage support and switches to a new libjade-based coverage workflow. There is no security bug being fixed here, and no new attack path is introduced. The only user-visible change is that the 'GCOV' field is no longer reported in the get_version_info RPC response.

Lower-prioritylibjade: add gui supportby Daniel Newton · 624ac60b · May 1, 2026 · 18 filesMessage 61 · AdequateInformational 20Details

libjade: add gui support

Adds libjade/run_libjade_gui.sh which will run a local libjade instance
with a tkinter window. Includes coverage support for libjade builds.

Note that the libjade API to fetch the screen buffer is subject to
change in the future.

This commit adds a desktop GUI mode for testing the Jade hardware wallet firmware on a regular computer. It is a development/testing feature, not a change to the production firmware that runs on real Jade devices. The code introduces a new event-dispatching shim and lets a Python/Tkinter window drive the firmware's screen and buttons. There is no indication this fixes a security vulnerability; it is a tooling enhancement.
