The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This Bitcoin Core commit tightens the wallet's coin-selection rules for a new type of transaction called 'v3' or 'TRUC' transactions. It makes sure the wallet does not accidentally build a transaction that is too heavy to be accepted by the network's memory pool. Without this change, a user could create a v3 transaction that the local node would reject, wasting fees or causing the wallet to produce an invalid transaction. It is a defensive correctness fix rather than an active exploit.

Recommended action

Treat as a low-risk policy-correctness fix. Reviewers should verify that the weight caps match the consensus-adjacent TRUC policy limits and that no code path can override the cap after it is set. No urgent security response is indicated.

Security signals we found

01

Policy-enforcement gap in wallet coin selection for v3 transactions

02

Potential creation of transactions that violate TRUC mempool policy

03

Addition of transaction version awareness to CoinSelectionParams

04

Weight-limit clamping based on transaction version and input confirmation depth
