update lark for hid4java
What changed, and why it matters
This commit updates a dependency called 'lark' to a newer version that uses 'hid4java' (a library for talking to USB devices like hardware wallets). The actual code change is only one line, and the diff content is not available, so we cannot see what changed inside the dependency. It may be a routine compatibility update, but it could also include security fixes for how Sparrow Wallet communicates with hardware wallets over USB.
Review the exact version change in the 'lark' dependency and the corresponding hid4java release notes. If the update addresses known security issues, request a CVE and advisory from the project. Otherwise, treat as a routine dependency bump but verify with the project maintainers.
Security signals we found
Dependency update for a hardware-wallet communication library (lark/hid4java)
Insufficient diff detail to assess whether security fixes are included
HID/USB stack updates historically can carry memory-safety or parsing risks
Evidence from the diff
The commit title ‘update lark for hid4java’ and the single changed file ‘lark’ indicate a dependency version bump of the ‘lark’ library, likely to a revision compatible with or switching to hid4java for HID device communication. Without the diff, we cannot determine whether this is a benign build/dependency update or a security-relevant fix (e.g., for USB HID parsing, buffer handling, or dependency vulnerabilities). The minimal +1/-1 stat suggests a version string or reference change only.
