The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a confirmation step when completing an unfinished multi-signature (multisig) Bitcoin wallet by importing a coordinator's configuration. Before the change, Sparrow would silently replace the user's local cosigner list and signing rules with whatever the imported file contained. After the change, the user must review and approve the required number of signatures (quorum), the list of cosigners, and which of their own keys are included before the wallet is updated. This reduces the risk that a malicious or incorrect import could trick the user into a wallet they cannot truly control or co-sign.

Recommended action

Treat this as a security-hardening fix and include it in the next release. Users relying on multisig import should upgrade. No immediate incident response is indicated, but wallet developers should verify that similar silent policy-adoption paths do not exist elsewhere.

Security signals we found

01

Adds explicit user confirmation before adopting imported multisig policy

02

Requires exact xpub match for own keystore identification (BIP129 compliance)

03

Adds validation of derivation paths and wallet validity before replacement

04

Prevents silent replacement of local cosigners and quorum settings

05

Displays quorum, cosigner key origins, and removed keystores to the user
