The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a bug in the Keystone 3 hardware wallet's Zcash support: when a user changed their login password, the encrypted Zcash 'unified full viewing key' (UFVK) was not re-encrypted with the new password. That meant the stored UFVK could only be decrypted with the old password, which could lock the user out of Zcash functions or, in some edge cases, leave sensitive key material protected by a stale credential. The patch adds a routine to re-derive and re-encrypt the UFVK whenever the password changes, and also repairs stale ciphertext automatically at the next login.

Recommended action

Treat this as a security-hardening fix for a functional bug that could impair availability of Zcash funds and weaken credential hygiene. Users on CYPHERPUNK_VERSION firmware should update to a build containing this commit. If a password was changed on an older firmware, the next login will now auto-repair the UFVK ciphertext, but verify Zcash balance/viewing access after any password change.

Security signals we found

01

Credential/key material desynchronization after password change

02

Zcash UFVK ciphertext keyed by login password

03

Automatic migration/recovery of stale encrypted key material

04

Best-effort re-encryption with error logged but not failing password change

05

Scope limited to CYPHERPUNK_VERSION Zcash support
