The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how a Zcash hardware wallet handles batches of transactions. Previously, the signing and display code used the raw, unchecked batch data directly. After the patch, the code first runs a checking function that produces a validated 'checked batch' object, stores it, and then uses only that validated object for parsing details shown to the user and for signing. This is a defensive refactor that reduces the risk of signing a transaction that differs from what was reviewed on screen, but the commit itself does not claim to fix a specific reported vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a hardening/defensive fix. Review the implementation of check_zcash_batch_tx_cypherpunk() and the Rust PCZT checking logic to confirm the checked container is immutable and cannot be influenced by the raw UR data after checking. Verify that g_checkedBatch is always set before parse/sign and is freed on all error paths. No urgent user action is indicated by the commit alone.

Security signals we found

01

Separation of checked/sanitized transaction container from raw UR input

02

Display and signing paths now both consume the same checked object

03

Addition of explicit cleanup/free for the checked container

04

Function pointer casts made explicit

05

No mention of CVE, bug bounty, or external reporter in commit
