The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit reviews and hardens the IOTA cryptocurrency support in the Keystone 3 hardware wallet firmware. It removes unused dependencies, fixes several places where the code would crash if given empty or malformed input, and improves handling of the secret seed so it is wiped from memory even when an error occurs. There is no explicit statement from the vendor that this fixes a security vulnerability, but the changes reduce the chance of a crash or information leak when signing IOTA transactions.

Recommended action

Treat this as a defensive hardening patch. Reviewers should verify that all early-return paths in iota_sign_hash and iota_sign_intent now zeroize the seed, and that the C caller's memset_s is not optimized away. Users should update firmware once this commit is included in a release, especially if they use IOTA signing.

Security signals we found

01

Memory safety: seed buffer is now zeroized on all error paths in iota_sign_hash and iota_sign_intent

02

Input validation: empty derivation path arrays are checked before indexing

03

Input validation: hex decoding of message hash no longer uses unwrap()

04

Input validation: missing addresses no longer cause out-of-bounds access

05

Dead code removal: duplicate iota_get_address removed from solana module

06

Dependency reduction: unused cryptographic/serialization crates removed from iota app

07

C layer hardening: GetAccountSeed return value checked and seed cleared with memset_s
