The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates the project's Python dependency lock file to require urllib3 version 2.6.0 or newer. The commit message says this is a security fix for CVE-2025-66471, a vulnerability in the urllib3 library. urllib3 is used indirectly through other packages (requests and translate) and only in development tools, not in the main Krux firmware that runs on hardware wallets. The change itself is a routine dependency bump, not a code fix inside Krux.

Recommended action

Verify that the urllib3 2.6.0 package hash in poetry.lock matches the official PyPI release. Confirm that urllib3, requests, and translate are not bundled into the firmware build or any production artifact. Continue monitoring CVE-2025-66471 for future patches and consider pinning to a newer patch release if one becomes available.
