The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit hardens how Stack Wallet's CypherGoat exchange integration handles API responses. It replaces imprecise floating-point math with exact decimal arithmetic for money amounts, and stops silently substituting default values (like 0 or empty strings) when expected fields are missing. Instead, the app now throws a clear error if required fields are absent or malformed. This reduces the risk of incorrect trade amounts being shown or accepted, and makes the app fail more safely if the exchange server sends an unexpected or malformed response.

Recommended action

Treat this as a defensive hardening change. Review whether upstream callers catch CgResponseFormatException gracefully to avoid user-facing crashes when the exchange API omits a field. Verify Decimal parsing handles all locale/serialization formats returned by CypherGoat. Consider regression testing trade amount display, minimum-amount enforcement, and transaction refresh flows. No urgent patch is required unless the previous double/default behavior was causing active incorrect trades.

Security signals we found

01

Switch from double to Decimal for monetary values, mitigating floating-point precision errors in exchange amount calculations

02

Replace silent default-value substitution with explicit required-field validation and CgResponseFormatException on missing/invalid fields

03

Nullable optional fields instead of empty-string defaults for fields like memo, cgid, kyc, token, source, affiliate, track

04

Removal of fallback-to-old-trade-value logic when updated transaction fields were empty, reducing stale/incorrect trade state

05

No explicit security framing, CVE, or vendor advisory in commit message or diff
