Vulnerability in @bsv/wallet-toolbox (CVE-2026-56744)

Summary

Vulnerability in @bsv/wallet-toolbox (CVE-2026-56744). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via createAction. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.4.0 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Reported by @echennells (Eric Chennells). Migrated from public issue #191 to a private advisory.

Affected: @bsv/wallet-toolbox / -client / -mobile. Verified in 2.1.21 and 2.1.21-parity-fix.2; the relevant code is the same at current HEAD

Summary:
When createAction runs against a remote StorageClient, the storage server returns the outputs to build. buildSignableTransaction takes each non-change output's lockingScript from the storage response and signs it, without comparing it to the lockingScript the caller supplied in args.outputs. WalletPermissionsManager.createAction parses the built transaction and has args.outputs available, but uses the tx only for inputs and getFee(); it does not inspect tx.outputs. A storage provider that returns a different recipient script than requested will therefore have that script signed and broadcast, while the calling app and UI still show the originally requested recipient.

Relevant code:

  • signer/methods/buildSignableTransaction.js — non-change output lockingScript = asBsvSdkScript(out.lockingScript), sourced from the storage response; args.outputs is not consulted.
  • WalletPermissionsManager.js createAction — parses the built tx, derives spend from args.outputs satoshis + tx.getFee(), reads tx.inputs; does not read tx.outputs.
  • signer/methods/signAction.js, completeSignedTransaction.js — sign the as-built tx; no output comparison.

Context:
Remote storage is a su…

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r '@bsv/wallet-toolbox' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で @bsv/wallet-toolbox を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade @bsv/wallet-toolbox to 2.4.0

    ステージング環境で 2.4.0 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
