The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a feature draft that upgrades the wallet's OpenAlias support from version 1 to also support the newer OpenAlias v2 standard. It adds safer parsing, DNSSEC-over-Tor resolution, and displays a sanitized recipient name on the confirmation screen. There is no indication in the commit that it fixes a known security bug; it reads as a defensive-by-design feature implementation.

Recommended action

No immediate security action is required. Treat as a normal feature/quality review: verify the new OA2 parser behavior against the OpenAlias v2 spec, ensure the Rust FFI JSON escaping handles all edge cases, and confirm the UI display-name sanitization covers the intended Unicode ranges. Continue monitoring for a follow-up commit that marks the draft as final.

Security signals we found

01

OpenAlias resolution routed exclusively through Tor SOCKS proxy with no clearnet fallback

02

Rust UDP bind explicitly refused to prevent DNS query leakage outside Tor

03

DNSSEC validation required (Proof::Secure) before records are accepted

04

Recipient name sanitized: control characters, bidi overrides, zero-width marks removed, whitespace collapsed, length capped at 64 chars with surrogate-pair-safe truncation

05

Resolved address validated against wallet's Monero address validator before downstream use

06

OpenAlias v2 preferred over v1; v1 fallback disabled when v2 records exist but are incompatible with wallet's network/asset

07

Repeated keys in TXT records rejected rather than silently overwritten

08

Debounced typing delay prevents a Tor lookup per keystroke

09

Parsing and selection logic unit-tested against hostile/malformed inputs
