Swiss hardware-wallet maker BitBox disclosed two severe firmware vulnerabilities — a memory-corruption flaw in unconfigured Multi-edition devices that could enable malicious firmware installation, and a Silent Payments issue that could lock bitcoin to unintended addresses — found through internal review "including with frontier AI models."

The Bitcoin-only edition never contained the affected code.
