This commit fixes a typo in a single test file. The test was accidentally running the same helper function twice (p1.htlc_switch() called twice) instead of running it once for each of two simulated participants (p1 and p2). The change makes the test more realistic but does not alter any production code, so it cannot affect real users or wallets.

AI analysis · Low 43/100

This commit cleans up how Electrum stores initial Bitcoin transaction fee information for Lightning payment channels. Previously, both sides of a channel got a starting fee entry in the internal log, even though only the channel initiator is allowed to change fees later. The patch now records the initial fee only for the initiator and includes a database upgrade routine to remove the duplicate entry from existing wallets. The change is described by the developer as a cleanup, not a security fix, but it touches code that decides which fee rate is used in commitment transactions, which matters for channel safety.

This commit is a small internal code cleanup in Electrum's Lightning message parser.

lnworker: don't connect to onion peers if no proxy

to onion peers if we don't have a proxy enabled. We should just skip
them and try to connect to clearnet peers instead.

AI analysis · Informational 19/100

This commit changes Electrum's Lightning networking code so that, when no Tor/proxy is enabled, it simply skips over '.onion' peer addresses instead of trying to connect to them. The goal is to avoid wasting connection attempts on addresses that cannot be reached without a proxy. It is a performance and reliability improvement, not a fix for an exploitable security vulnerability.

AI analysis · Low 49/100

This commit fixes a bug in Electrum's Lightning Network peer manager. Previously, the code thought a proxy was always configured because the proxy object always existed, even when disabled. As a result, it skipped DNS resolution and could behave incorrectly when connecting to peers, especially for .onion addresses which require a proxy. The fix checks whether the proxy is actually enabled, not just present.

ServerConnectWizard: don't set autoconnect on user cancel

Don't set the NETWORK_AUTO_CONNECT config if the user checked the custom
server config checkbox and then cancels the wizard, so the next time the
user starts the wizard they again will have the choice instead of
silently being forced into a random server.
Currently if the user cancels the wizard during the network config the
welcome component will already have set the NETWORK_AUTO_CONNECT config
to False (as the user selected the custom server checkbox), preventing
the wizard from starting again on the next startup.

AI analysis · Informational 20/100

This change fixes a small user-experience bug in Electrum's first-run network setup wizard. Previously, if a user chose to manually configure a server but then closed the wizard without finishing, the wallet would remember that choice and skip the wizard on the next launch, silently connecting to a random server instead. Now the wizard will reappear until the user completes or explicitly accepts the setup. There is no direct theft-of-funds or remote-code-execution vulnerability here.

ServerConnectWizard.do_configure_server to avoid a traceback like in
I am not entirely sure how the user in #10437 managed to trigger
the exception as Network.set_parameters should already exit early at
`not self._was_started` in the Wizard as the network shouldn't have been
started yet during the wizard. However passing the default ServerAddr
instead of an empty string to set_parameters should avoid this
exception.

This commit fixes a small bug in Electrum's setup wizard where, if a user chose to manually configure a server but left the field empty or invalid, the wizard would pass an empty string as the server address. That could cause a crash (traceback). The fix falls back to the default server instead of an empty string and logs a warning rather than silently returning. It is a stability fix, not a security vulnerability.

This commit adds a user-interface check in Electrum's newer QML (mobile-style) interface to make sure a server address typed by the user looks valid before allowing them to continue. It mirrors a similar check that already existed in the older Qt desktop interface. The change prevents users from accidentally saving or connecting to a clearly malformed server address, which could otherwise lead to connection failures or, in worst-case scenarios, being tricked into connecting to an attacker-controlled server.

qt: ServerWidget/wizard: validate server_e

The `ServerWidget` didn't validate the input of server_e, which allowed
the user to enter an invalid server connection string and exit the
dialog without knowing they entered an invalid string.
In the wizard this behavior is very misleading as the user explicitly
wanted to use a custom server, can click next after entering an invalid
server, and we will just silently fall back to automatic server selection.

This change will disable the "Next" button in the wizard if an invalid
address has been entered and show a red background in the server_e while
the input is not valid, so the user clearly sees that this input is not
going to be used.

This commit fixes a user-interface bug in the Electrum Bitcoin wallet's setup wizard.

AI analysis · Informational 18/100

This commit fixes a bug where the 'Addresses' tab in Electrum's Qt GUI would crash or fail to display for a specific type of wallet: imported watch-only wallets. These wallets contain addresses you are monitoring but do not own the private keys for. The crash happened because the code assumed every address had an associated public key/index, but watch-only imported addresses do not. The fix makes the sorting function safely handle a missing index by treating it as an empty string. There is no security vulnerability here—just a user-interface regression.

This commit fixes a build script bug in Electrum's Linux AppImage packaging. When developers set a specific commit to build from (ELECBUILD_COMMIT), the script looked for a helper file in the wrong directory and the build would fail. The fix simply points the script to the correct location. There is no security issue here—just a broken build path being corrected.

This commit simply adds new Bitcoin block header checkpoints to Electrum's data files for mainnet, signet, testnet, and testnet4. Checkpoints are hardcoded reference points that help the wallet verify it is following the correct blockchain. There is no code change, no bug fix, and no security vulnerability visible in this commit.

Lower-priorityTxEditor: move swap request to TxEditorby f321x · 1b28e6bf · Jan 22, 2026 · 3 filesMessage 68 · AdequateLow 33Details

TxEditor: move swap request to TxEditor

Moves the logic requesting the forward swap into the TxEditor so it can
use the open transport and doesn't have to reconnect to the relays
again.

Also disables the "Preview" button in the TxEditor when the transaction will
send change to lightning.
This should prevent the user from saving the transaction to history and
broadcasting it later or exporting it and broadcasting it through some
external way.
Broadcasting needs to happen directly after the TxEditor so we can send
the second rpc call to the swapserver and await the incoming htlcs
before broadcasting the (funding-) transaction.

This commit moves the code that requests a 'swap invoice' from the send tab into the transaction editor dialog. It also disables the Preview button when a transaction will send leftover change into a Lightning swap. The goal is to make sure the swap is requested over the already-open connection and to stop users from saving or exporting a swap transaction and broadcasting it later, because the swap server needs to be told about the transaction right before it is broadcast. The change is a defensive hardening measure rather than a fix for an active exploit.

Lower-priorityTxEditor: update dynamically based on swap transportby f321x · a1841600 · Jan 22, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 73 · AdequateInformational 18Details

TxEditor: update dynamically based on swap transport

Update the TxEditor (onchain tab) if Send change to lightning is enabled
and the swap transport changes. Connect to swap transport if send change
to lightning gets enabled or if it is enabled and the TxEditor gets
opened.
This allows to nicely show the swap fees without blocking the UI to wait
until the swap manager gets initialized.

This commit is a user-interface improvement for Electrum's transaction editor. It makes the fee display update automatically when a 'send change to Lightning' swap connection is being set up, so the user isn't left waiting with a frozen window. There is no direct evidence in the commit of a security vulnerability being fixed.
