Bitcoin Magazine reports that a Bitcoin red team discovered 85 critical flaws across 390 open source repositories following the Coldcard exploit that resulted in over $100 million in losses.
A coordinated audit surfacing critical flaws across hundreds of Bitcoin repos is a reminder that if you depend on open-source crypto libraries, your risk is inherited from upstream code you didn't write. Worth checking whether any of your wallet, signing, or RNG dependencies appear on the affected list and pinning versions accordingly. RNG bugs in particular are worth prioritizing since they can silently compromise key generation without any visible failure.
