The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine release-candidate commit for Cake Wallet/Monero.com version 6.5.0. It bumps the Monero core library version, adds a new Robinhood Chain wallet, enables price charts and Bitcoin accounts, reverts a database table that was intended to store deprecated wallet seeds, disables the Exolix swap provider, and fixes an Alchemy API key fallback. None of these changes are explicitly described by the vendor as security fixes, and there is no direct evidence in the diff of an exploitable vulnerability. The most notable security-adjacent change is the removal of the DeprecatedWalletSeeds table, which suggests a deliberate reduction of seed-storage surface area, but the commit does not frame it as a security patch.

Recommended action

Treat this as a normal release-candidate review. Verify the monero_c commit 33671871de3d51696b66ffb3bd94f744e26974f6 for any upstream security fixes, confirm the DeprecatedWalletSeeds table removal does not break seed recovery or migration for existing users, and ensure the empty Alchemy API key fallback is intentional and documented. No emergency action is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Database schema reverts creation of DeprecatedWalletSeeds table, reducing persistent seed storage surface

02

Alchemy API key fallback hardcoded to empty string, preventing unintended use of a bundled/secret key for Alchemy RPC endpoints

03

monero_c dependency updated to a newer commit, which may include upstream Monero fixes, but the specific changes are not shown in this diff

04

Exolix exchange provider disabled via feature flag
