AI analysis

This update addresses a critical security flaw in PSBTs, ensuring that signatures are cryptographically bound to the intended transaction outputs. This change reinforces the integrity of transactions and reduces the risk of unauthorized changes being made by third parties.

Where this goesLeaning65%weeks

This change will significantly enhance security for Bitcoin transactions using PSBTs, making it harder for malicious actors to manipulate transaction outputs without the user's consent.

What would confirm it
  • Review of wallet providers' handling of SIGHASH_SINGLE requests
  • Confirmation of a production release containing the safeguard
  • Implementation of similar protections in hardware signing integrations
