The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new optional 'from_height' field to the /import_wallet_request endpoint in the Monero Light Wallet Server. Previously, import requests always started scanning from block 0. Now users can request a later starting block height. The change appears to be a feature addition rather than a security fix, though it touches authentication-related code paths.

Recommended action

Review the database layer's import_request function and any downstream scan logic to ensure db::block_id(req.from_height) cannot cause out-of-bounds behavior, integer truncation, or bypass of account state checks. Consider adding server-side validation for from_height relative to current blockchain height.

Security signals we found

01

Authentication-related code modified (open_account call now uses req.creds sub-field)

02

New user-controlled integer parameter (from_height) accepted and passed to database layer

03

No visible bounds/overflow validation on from_height in the diff

04

No explicit security context in commit message or title
