📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid Ethereum addresses now fail validation cleanly, including values that are too short or lack the required prefix.
    • Empty signed and unsigned transaction data is rejected during parsing.
    • Reserve proofs with duplicate key images or missing output keys are handled more safely.
    • Transfer details reject overflowing amounts and cases where inputs are less than outputs, preventing incorrect fee calculations.

Walkthrough

The changes add length and prefix checks for Ethereum addresses and transaction strings. They update reserve-proof validation, add overflow and subtraction checks to transfer description calculations, and change the log category for master-node storage success messages.

Changes

Ethereum address validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Address prefix and format checks
src/cryptonote_core/beldex_name_system.cpp
The validator checks address length and the 0x prefix before checking suffix format and length. A trailing whitespace change is also included.

Wallet input and reserve-proof checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transaction string length guards
src/wallet/wallet2.cpp
The unsigned and signed transaction parsers throw when the input contains only the magic prefix.
Reserve-proof validation
src/wallet/wallet2.cpp
Reserve-proof processing changes its transaction hash parameter, rejects duplicate key images, defaults a missing pool flag to false, and handles absent output keys with a null public key. It also compares spent status explicitly against zero.

Transfer amount checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transfer amount validation
src/wallet/wallet_rpc_server.cpp
DESCRIBE_TRANSFER::invoke checks overflow while accumulating source, destination, output, and change amounts. It rejects input totals below output totals before calculating the fee. A blank line is also added in EDIT_ADDRESS_BOOK_ENTRY::invoke.

Master-node storage logging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Storage log category
src/cryptonote_core/master_node_list.cpp
The master-node storage success message now uses MCINFO with the omq category.

Malformed magic-prefix-only transaction submissions receive a generic error instead of the specific bad-transaction response. This is a bounded RPC error-contract regression; the PR is mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up.

A rabbit checks the prefix first,
Then counts each byte with care.
It spots a repeated key image,
And guards each sum from overflow there.
The logs hop to a new category,
While empty strings are turned away.

Use return false for magic-prefix-only transaction data.

When the input contains only the magic prefix, both parser functions throw std::out_of_range instead of returning false. The SIGN_TRANSFER and SUBMIT_TRANSFER callers then bypass their BAD_UNSIGNED_TX_DATA and BAD_SIGNED_TX_DATA mappings. The outer RPC dispatcher catches the exception as std::exception and returns UNKNOWN_ERROR.

Keep the length guards, but log the malformed input and return false in both functions.

🛡️ Suggested fix
-  if (s.size() <= UNSIGNED_TX_PREFIX_NOVER.size())
-    throw std::out_of_range("Empty unsigned tx");
+  if (s.size() <= UNSIGNED_TX_PREFIX_NOVER.size())
+  {
+    LOG_PRINT_L0("Empty unsigned tx");
+    return false;
+  }
-  if (s.size() <= SIGNED_TX_PREFIX_NOVER.size())
-    throw std::out_of_range("Empty signed tx");
+  if (s.size() <= SIGNED_TX_PREFIX_NOVER.size())
+  {
+    LOG_PRINT_L0("Empty signed tx");
+    return false;
