tighten schema validation
✓ Descriptive subject! No meaningful explanatory body
The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds stronger safety checks when Sparrow Wallet opens its encrypted wallet database files. It tries to detect and block tampered wallet files that contain unusual database objects such as linked tables, triggers, aliases, synonyms, generated columns, custom domains, or unexpected default values. These checks reduce the risk that a maliciously crafted wallet file could trick the application into running harmful database commands or accessing remote data when the wallet is loaded.

Recommended action

Treat this as a security hardening fix and include it in the next release. Users should upgrade to a version containing this commit and avoid opening untrusted or externally supplied Sparrow wallet files until patched. Developers should review whether additional H2 features (e.g., user-defined functions, Java functions, or external data sources) are also reachable through wallet files and consider further restrictions.

Security signals we found

01

Adds pre-migration validation of H2 MVStore metadata payload for dangerous DDL patterns

Blocks CREATE FORCE LINKED TABLE / TRIGGER / ALIAS in wallet file metadata

03

Rejects linked tables, synonyms, generated columns, custom domains, and unexpected column defaults

04

Moves validateSchema() before migrate() to prevent malicious schema objects from being executed during migration

05

Uses read-only MVStore opening and a custom DataType to inspect raw storage without full SQL parsing
