The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds support for a newer Bitcoin address format called 'silent payments' when Sparrow Wallet reads wallet labels from files or PDFs. Before this change, the wallet could fail to recognize silent-payment descriptors, so labels tied to those addresses might not be imported or matched correctly. There is no direct evidence this is a security vulnerability—no funds could be stolen—but it is a correctness fix that prevents silent-payment users from silently losing label metadata.

Recommended action

Treat as a feature/correctness fix rather than a security patch. Users relying on silent payments should upgrade to ensure wallet labels import correctly from PDFs and label files. No urgent security action is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Silent payment descriptor parsing now recognized in PDF import path

02

Origin matching extended to include silent payment scan addresses

03

New test cases assert label import/round-trip for silent payment wallets
