The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit replaces a custom-built HTML parser in Stack Wallet's ShopinBit ticket-message feature with the well-known 'html' package. The old code parsed HTML by hand using string scanning and regular expressions, which is a common source of security bugs (for example, tricking the parser into treating malicious code as harmless text or vice versa). The new code uses a dedicated HTML parser that is more robust against malformed or adversarial input. The change is a defensive refactor; there is no direct evidence in the commit that an actual attack was found or exploited.

Recommended action

Treat as a positive hardening change. Review that package:html ^0.15.6 is pinned/locked to a known-good version, verify its transitive dependencies, and confirm that the new parser's behavior for malformed HTML and entity decoding matches the app's security expectations. No urgent patch action is indicated by the commit alone.

Security signals we found

01

Replaces custom HTML tokenizer/parser with a maintained library parser

02

Removes hand-rolled HTML entity decoding and regex attribute extraction

03

Reduces attack surface for HTML injection / mutation bypasses in ticket message rendering

04

No explicit bug fix, CVE, or exploit evidence present in the commit materials
