AI analysis · Low 26/100

This commit fixes a mismatch between what a function called register_otp_string() actually returns and what callers expect. The function used to claim it returned a simple true/false value, but it was really returning numeric error codes. The fix changes the declared return type from bool to int so the code matches reality. This is a cleanup that prevents callers from misinterpreting error codes as plain failure, but the diff does not show an active exploit path on its own.

This change updates a developer build script so that, when enabling Wi-Fi logging on a Blockstream Jade device, it tries to auto-fill the user's current Wi-Fi network name and password from their Linux computer. The credentials are shown on screen as defaults and written into the device's build configuration. This is a convenience feature, but it increases the chance that real Wi-Fi credentials are copied into a firmware build configuration file and displayed in the terminal.

This commit is a harmless code-size optimization. It replaces the mathematical pow() function (used to calculate 10 raised to a small power) with a simple lookup table of powers of 10, allowing the compiler to remove the floating-point pow() library code and save about 3.9 KB of firmware space. The displayed asset amounts are computed the same way as before.

This commit updates the Python Bluetooth library used to talk to Blockstream Jade hardware wallets from an older version (bleak 0.13.0 with dbus-next) to newer versions (bleak 2.1.1 with dbus-fast). The code changes are mechanical API adjustments: how the app scans for devices, how it reads descriptors, and how it stores the receive characteristic. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a specific security vulnerability, but updating dependencies can remove known bugs or weaknesses in the Bluetooth stack. The commit message does not describe any security issue.

AI analysis · Low 35/100

This commit changes how a one-time passcode (OTP) is shortened to the requested number of digits. Previously the code used the floating-point math function pow() to compute 10^digits, which can introduce tiny rounding errors. Now it uses fixed integer constants (1,000,000 for 6 digits and 100,000,000 for 8 digits). The change removes a potential source of incorrect OTP values and also drops an unnecessary math-library dependency, but the commit message does not frame it as a security fix.

This commit changes how a hardware wallet (Blockstream Jade) turns on-screen digit entries into a numeric value. It replaces a floating-point math function (pow()) with simple integer arithmetic and switches the number type from size_t to uint32_t. The change is defensive: using pow() with floating-point numbers for integer digit values can introduce tiny rounding errors, and size_t is unnecessarily large/wide for this purpose. The commit does not by itself fix a known exploitable bug, but it removes a risky pattern in security-sensitive code that handles BIP85 child mnemonic indexes.

AI analysis · Informational 20/100

This commit is a user-interface refactor for the Blockstream Jade hardware wallet. It replaces a PIN-only digit-entry screen with a shared 'digit entry' widget that can also accept shorter numeric indices (for things like BIP85 child mnemonic indexes or account indexes). The PIN entry behavior itself is preserved: PINs still require all six digits. The main functional change is that index entry can now be shorter than six digits, which is a usability improvement rather than a security fix. There is no vendor statement that this change addresses a security vulnerability.

This commit changes the on-screen confirmation message shown to users when a specific BIP85 entropy export is requested. Normally the device warns that it is exporting an encrypted seed phrase for a specific BIP85 index. For the exact combination of a 12-word seed phrase at index 26589, the device instead shows a friendly 'Scan successful! Continue to pair with wallet app.' message under the title 'Enable Swaps'. The underlying cryptographic operation is unchanged; only the user-facing text is different. This could mislead users about what is actually being exported, but it does not by itself bypass the user's approval button press.

docker: revert idf from 5.4.3 back to 5.4.0 in jade_builder_base

Aside from issues with the default docker image, 5.4 versions from
v5.4.1 onwards break bluetooth handling on v2 devices.

While several of the BLE bugs concerned have been identified and can be
patched locally to get 5.4.1 apparently working, we deem it too risky
to move to any 'bug fix' release at this stage of the release cycle.
This goes doubly so given that git bisection is broken in the 5.4
branches and as a result it is non-trivial to identify/partially revert
incorrect changes.

We will attempt to bump the idf version earlier in the next development
cycle so that proper testing can be done before release (and bug fixes
passed upstream to idf as needed).

Until then, revert to 5.4.0 (with some Jade changes for better BLE
reliability).

AI analysis · Low 35/100

This commit rolls back the software framework (Espressif IDF) used to build Blockstream Jade hardware wallets from version 5.4.3 to 5.4.0. The stated reason is that 5.4.1 through 5.4.3 introduce Bluetooth bugs that break Bluetooth on older 'v2' Jade devices. The team considers the newer bug-fix releases too risky to ship because the upstream framework's own version history is broken, making it hard to isolate which changes cause the Bluetooth problems. This is a defensive, risk-reduction change rather than a fix for an active exploit.

ble: retry more often/faster, also when no buffer is available

Buffers can become exhausted if we race against the O/S freeing them.
Retry just like a sending failure if this happens. Also retry faster to
lower latency, and more often so we respect the typical BLE 2 second timeout.
Finally, log any waits less frequently to avoid log spam.

AI analysis · Low 26/100

This commit changes how Blockstream Jade's Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) code retries sending data. Previously, if the system ran out of temporary memory buffers, the code would crash with an assertion failure. Now it treats that situation like any other send failure and retries. It also retries more often and faster to stay within typical BLE timeouts, and reduces how often warning messages are logged. The change is a robustness improvement rather than a clear security fix, but the removed assertion crash could have been triggered by an attacker exhausting buffers.

✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component! No meaningful explanatory body
AI analysis · Low 28/100

This commit changes how three internal Bluetooth-related data structures are initialized in the Blockstream Jade hardware wallet firmware. Previously, two structures were declared without initialization and later zeroed with memset(), while one was declared without initialization and never zeroed. Now all three are initialized to zero at the point of declaration, and the redundant memset() calls are removed. The change is defensive and reduces the risk that future edits could accidentally use uninitialized memory. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an exploitable security vulnerability.

There is no change to the actual Jade firmware, wallet code, cryptography, or anything users interact with. It is purely a pipeline optimization to avoid redundant testing.

This commit changes the project's Docker build file to use a custom-built base image instead of the upstream Espressif one, and adds the g++ compiler package. The change is described by the project as a workaround for a bug where the upstream Docker image produces bad firmware images for older 1.x Jade devices. There is no security-relevant change visible in the diff itself.

docker: add a CI job for jade_builder_base

The idf provided 5.4.3 builds invalid firmwares for 1.x devices. Until
this is fixed upstream, build our own base image using the idf dockerfile.

This commit adds a new manual CI job that builds a custom Docker base image for compiling Jade firmware. It is a build-infrastructure change, not a code change that affects the device firmware itself. There is no security vulnerability in the diff.

This commit is a routine developer tooling cleanup. It removes a separate debug script and instead lets the same launch script start the emulator in debugger mode when a --gdb flag is passed. There is no change to the actual Jade firmware or to how end-user devices behave.

Lower-prioritydocker: fix Dockerfile.qemu, use jade_builderby Jon Griffiths · c00a4513 · Feb 23, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 78 · AdequateInformational 15Details

docker: fix Dockerfile.qemu, use jade_builder

Update the dockerfile to run from the jade_builder image. Don't try to
optimise the final image, since qemu is used for development, testing
and debugging (and not running Jade long term).

The README.md commands to run qemu headless/CI now work as documented.

This commit is a routine build-system fix for the QEMU emulator Dockerfile used in development and testing. It switches the Docker base image and simplifies the build steps so the documented README commands work correctly. There is no indication this change affects the security of the actual Jade hardware wallet firmware or introduces any vulnerability.
