The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit hardens the Passport hardware wallet's supply-chain verification feature by adding strict length checks before passing buffers to cryptographic functions. Without these checks, a malformed or short challenge could be silently padded with zeros, potentially allowing an attacker to bypass the security check that proves the device is genuine. The patch also removes an unused random-hex helper and adds automated tests that exercise the boundary conditions.

Recommended action

Review the supply-chain validation user flow end-to-end to confirm no other entry point accepts short challenges, and ensure the new unit test is run in CI. Consider whether the removed `random_hex` function was referenced anywhere outside the changed import in `connect_wallet_flow.py`.

Security signals we found

01

Buffer-length validation added before fixed-size HMAC and ECDSA operations

02

Removal of silent zero-padding for short supply-chain challenge buffers

03

New unit test specifically targeting supply-chain buffer bounds

04

Pull request title and branch name explicitly reference supply-chain boundary hardening
