The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds battery safety monitoring to Trezor hardware wallets. It detects problems like a disconnected temperature sensor (NTC), charging that is stuck at a low current, and sudden jumps in battery temperature or voltage. When such a problem is detected during production testing, the device shows a red error screen and disables charging. The change is defensive: it is meant to prevent unsafe charging conditions rather than introduce a security flaw.

Recommended action

Treat as a defensive safety feature, not a vulnerability. Review the new pm_charging_enable/disable syscalls for correct gating and verify that the production-test error screen cannot be bypassed in a way that leaves charging disabled/enabled in an unsafe state. Also fix the inconsistent MicroPython constant name EVENT_BATTERY_TEMP_JUMP_UPDATED to match EVENT_BATTERY_TEMP_JUMP_DETECTED.

Security signals we found

01

New battery safety error detection and charging-disable path added

02

New syscalls for enabling/disabling charging exposed to userspace

03

Verified syscall dispatch used for new charging control syscalls

04

Production-test UI now blocks on battery error states and disables charging

05

Potential naming mismatch in MicroPython event constant: EVENT_BATTERY_TEMP_JUMP_UPDATED vs EVENT_BATTERY_TEMP_JUMP_DETECTED
