Security candidatefix: wizard: qml: call checkIfLast in WCHaveSeedby f321x · e6f73522 · Aug 11, 2025 · 1 fileMessage 100 · StrongInformational 22Details
Commit message · f321x

fix: wizard: qml: call checkIfLast in WCHaveSeed

When the user has already loaded a wallet in QML and tries to restore a
new wallet `WCHaveSeed.qml` incorrectly shows a `Finish` button instead
of a `Next` button and raises a KeyError if the user clicks on Finish
instead of resolving the passphrase input view (regression from
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/10016).

This happens because `last` of `have_seed` depends on
`NewWalletWizard.is_single_password()` and NewWalletWizard.wants_ext(wizard_data).
`is_single_password()` is true if a wallet is already loaded,
while `wants_ext(wizard_data)` is false as `wants_ext()` depends on `seed_extend: True` in
`wizard_data` which only gets set after `apply()` of `WCHaveSeed` gets
called, however the evaluation of `WCHaveSeed` being the last view
happens before the view is shown.
By calling `checkIsLast()` in the validation timer of `WCHaveSeed` the
`last` property gets set again after `apply()` has been called, so
the view is guaranteed to correctly show either the `Finish` or `Next` button
after a seed has been entered.

AI analysis · Informational 22/100

This is a small UI bug fix in Electrum's mobile-style (QML) wallet setup wizard. When restoring a wallet from a seed phrase while another wallet was already open, the wizard wrongly showed a 'Finish' button instead of 'Next'. Clicking it could trigger a crash (KeyError). The fix makes the wizard recalculate which button to show after the seed details are processed. It is not a security vulnerability in the cryptographic sense, just a user-experience regression that could confuse or crash the app.

This commit only changes the test suite of the Electrum Bitcoin wallet. It introduces a helper function that creates test wallets with smaller 'gap limits' (fewer pre-generated addresses) so unit tests run faster. There is no change to the actual wallet software that end users run, and nothing in the commit affects real funds, transaction signing, or network security.

AI analysis · Low 33/100

This commit fixes a crash or incorrect behavior in Electrum wallets when creating change addresses. Previously, the code assumed every wallet had a numeric 'gap_limit_for_change' setting, but imported wallets did not set one, leaving it as None. When the code tried to use that None value as a number, it could fail. The patch gives all wallets a default value and safely falls back to zero if it is still unset, ensuring imported wallets can create change outputs without crashing.

Lower-priorityinterface: don't request same tx from server that we just broadcast to itby SomberNight · 05da5017 · Aug 8, 2025 · 2 filesMessage 73 · AdequateInformational 15Details
Commit message · SomberNight

interface: don't request same tx from server that we just broadcast to it

Often when the wallet creates a tx, the flow is:
- create unsigned tx
- sign tx
- broadcast tx, but don't save it in history
- server sends notification that status of a subscribed address changed
- client calls scripthash.get_history
- client sees txid in scripthash.get_history response
- client calls blockchain.transaction.get to request missing tx

Instead, now when we broadcast a tx on an interface, we cache that tx *for that interface*,
and just before calling blockchain.transaction.get, we lookup in the cache.
Hence this will often save a network request.

This change is a performance optimization, not a security fix. Electrum used to ask a server for transaction details even when it had just sent that same transaction to the server moments earlier. Now it remembers the transaction locally for that server connection, avoiding an unnecessary network request. There is no security problem being fixed here.

add "lrucache" module, extracted from the 3rd-party tkem/cachetools library

functools.lru_cache in the stdlib is not generic enough. That can be used to cache the results of a single pure function,
however I have usecases where one function is supposed to populate the cache, while another function consumes it.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html#functools.lru_cache

This is stripped down and extracts just the LRUCache from tkem/cachetools. It is relatively short, and very mature code.
I don't expect that we have to "follow" upstream, etc. There likely won't be relevant changes upstream.
Effectively, we are forking and bundling this code.

This is a tiny one-line fix in Electrum's submarine swap server code. It corrects a function call that was accidentally passing an extra empty argument, which could cause the background task handling swap-server messages to crash. A crashing background task is a reliability issue and could briefly affect swap service availability, but it does not appear to let an attacker steal funds or run malicious code directly.

AI analysis · Informational 18/100

This is a small bug-fix in Electrum's Qt wallet setup wizard. The code previously tried to log a preview of an xpub (an extended public key used in Bitcoin wallets) even when the value was missing, which would crash the wizard with a Python error. The patch simply skips the log line when no xpub was retrieved. It does not appear to be a security vulnerability; it is a robustness fix for a user-facing crash.

This commit fixes a bug in Electrum's mobile-style QML user interface where sweeping private keys could crash or behave badly if the network request failed. The change now catches network errors and shows a friendly warning instead of letting the error propagate. It is a defensive UI fix, not a critical security vulnerability.
