The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This firmware update fixes a bug where the Bitcoin address shown on the Passport hardware wallet screen before signing could differ from the address actually used to create the signature. The fix makes the signing task verify that the address it computes matches the address previewed to the user, and aborts if they don't match. This prevents a user from being tricked into approving a signature for one address while the device signs with another.

Recommended action

Treat this as a security-hardening fix and include it in the next firmware release. Review other signing flows for similar preview-vs-actual address divergence issues. No immediate user action is required beyond updating firmware when available.

Security signals we found

01

Address mismatch check added between previewed and signed addresses

02

Separation of display-formatted address from canonical address used for signing

03

Refactoring to consolidate signing logic through HealthCheckCommonFlow

04

Potential user-confusion/tricked-approval issue mitigated
