The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit improves the BitBox02 hardware wallet's Ethereum token-approval screen. When a user signs an ERC20 token transfer, the device now also shows the token's smart-contract address if the token symbol is ambiguous (the same ticker, like 'UNI', is used by multiple contracts) or if the token is completely unknown. This helps prevent 'look-alike' token scams where a malicious contract uses a familiar symbol but is actually a worthless or harmful token. The change also blocks payment requests for unknown tokens. It is a defensive hardening patch, not an exploit fix for already-broken code.

Recommended action

No urgent action required. This is a defensive UX/security improvement. Users benefit automatically after updating firmware. Developers should ensure the token registry (`tokens.txt`) remains accurate and that ambiguous-symbol detection is re-run whenever tokens are added or changed.

Security signals we found

01

UI hardening: adds contract-address confirmation for ERC20 tokens with ambiguous or unknown symbols

02

Registry validation: rejects payment requests for tokens not present in the firmware's ERC20 registry

03

Build-time ambiguity detection: generates a sorted list of units shared by multiple contracts

04

Defensive measure against token-symbol spoofing / look-alike contract attacks

05

No evidence of memory corruption, privilege escalation, or remote code execution
