The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how COLDCARD handles multisig wallet names. Previously, re-importing a wallet file or descriptor with a different name would silently rename the existing wallet. Now, renaming must be done through an explicit 'Rename' menu action, and re-importing a duplicate with a different name is rejected. This is a security-hardening UX change that prevents accidental or malicious wallet renaming during import, which could confuse users about which wallet they are signing for.

Recommended action

No immediate action required; this is a hardening improvement. Users should ensure firmware is updated to a release containing this change and verify multisig wallet names after enrollment or rename operations.

Security signals we found

01

Prevents silent wallet renaming via re-imported descriptors/files

02

Adds explicit user-controlled rename flow with duplicate-name guard

03

Reduces risk of UI confusion / social-engineering around multisig identity

04

Hardens duplicate-detection logic by removing name-change exception
