The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors how Stack Wallet saves wallet addresses during wallet recovery and rescanning for ElectrumX-based coins. It centralizes repeated address-gap-checking logic into a single helper function and changes how the highest used address index is tracked. The change appears intended to fix a bug where unused addresses beyond the gap limit could be incorrectly stored, which could lead to missing transactions or an incomplete wallet balance after restore. There is no clear evidence in the commit of a traditional security vulnerability such as theft of funds, but a bug in address discovery could affect wallet correctness and user funds visibility.

Recommended action

Treat as a wallet-correctness fix worth reviewing and including in the next release. QA should verify recovery/rescan behavior on fresh and used wallets for ElectrumX-based coins (including Firo and MWEB) to ensure all expected addresses and transactions are discovered. No immediate incident response is indicated, but users who restored wallets before this fix may want to rescan if they noticed missing transactions.

Security signals we found

01

Address discovery logic changed: highest used index now initialized to -1 and only updated on addresses with transaction history

02

Duplicated gap-check code consolidated into single helper, reducing risk of inconsistent behavior across wallet types

03

Potential bug fix: prior logic could retain unused addresses beyond the gap limit or mishandle wallets with no history

04

No explicit security claims, CVE, or attribution in commit message or diff
