The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code review and cleanup of the Cosmos cryptocurrency support in the Keystone 3 hardware wallet firmware. It fixes several small but real issues: it corrects a buffer-size mismatch when copying passwords/passphrases into memory, avoids unnecessary cloning of transaction data, adds zeroing of the seed buffer after signing, and fixes memory leaks and repeated JSON parsing in the Cosmos UI code. There is no clear evidence of an exploitable remote attack, but the changes reduce the chance of memory corruption and secret leakage.

Recommended action

Treat as a hardening/maintenance patch. Review the corrected `strcpy_s` sizes and the new `seed.zeroize()` path for completeness (ensure no early returns skip zeroization). Verify that `GetCosmosParsedDetailRoot` cache invalidation covers all places where `tx->detail` may be freed or replaced. No urgent user action is indicated absent a vendor security advisory.

Security signals we found

Buffer copy size corrected in secret cache (password/passphrase/new password)

02

Seed buffer zeroized after Cosmos/Evmos signing

03

Removed redundant heap clones in transaction parsing

04

Added null checks and JSON parse caching to reduce use-after-free / memory-leak surface in UI

05

Fixed unconditional simulator-only memory free path

06

Global fixed-size address buffer removed
