The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a bug where the backup password was not being restored or applied correctly in Cake Wallet. It removes a separate in-memory 'SecretStore' class and instead has the backup screen and backup-password editing screen share one view-model directly. The change also adds a guard so you cannot export a backup when no password is set. There is no direct evidence in the commit of a security vulnerability being exploited; it reads as a reliability/bug-fix, though a missing backup password could weaken backup security.

Recommended action

Treat as a functional bug fix with minor security hygiene improvement. Review whether any previously created backups were exported with an empty or unintended password due to the state-sync bug, and consider adding an explicit user-facing warning when attempting backup export without a password. No urgent security patch is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

Removal of intermediate SecretStore that cached backup password in an observable map

02

Commented FIXME in removed SecretStore.load() suggests prior uncertainty about empty/default password handling

03

Added empty-password guard before backup export

04

Backup password state now shared reactively between viewmodels instead of being duplicated

05

No explicit security advisory, CVE, or researcher attribution in commit
