The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit redesigns the node list user interface and adds a way to scan or share node connection details via QR code. The most notable security-relevant change is that node connectivity checks now route through a 'ProxyWrapper' helper with a flag that allows bypassing SSL certificate validation for Monero nodes. That bypass could make it easier for an attacker on the same network to impersonate a node and intercept traffic. The commit also introduces a new constructor that parses node URIs, including username and password, from scanned QR codes or links.

Recommended action

Review whether allowMitmMoneroBypassSSLCheck: true is intentional and necessary; if it is a debugging or Tor-compatibility flag, ensure it is gated by explicit user consent or Tor mode and not active for clearnet connections. Validate and sanitize Node.fromUri() inputs before persisting or connecting, especially for credentials and the 'trusted' query parameter. Confirm that parallel speed tests do not leak node lists or timing information unexpectedly, and that the new QR-code node import path cannot be triggered by malicious payment QR codes.

Security signals we found

01

SSL/TLS certificate validation bypass flag introduced for Monero node RPC checks (allowMitmMoneroBypassSSLCheck: true)

02

New Node.fromUri() parses credentials and trusted flag from arbitrary URIs and is reachable from QR/link scanning

03

Node speed tests now run in parallel against all configured nodes with stored latency results

04

Removal of separate PoW node list view model; consolidation into unified NodeListViewModel with isPow parameter
