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:
