Impact Anybody using this library to sign with a BIP44 account other than the first account may be affected. If a user is signing with the first account (i.e. the account at index "0"), or with the legacy MEW/MyCrypto HD path, they are not affected. The vulnerability impacts cases where the user signs a personal message or transaction without first adding the account. This includes cases where the user has already added the account in a previous session (i.e. they added the account, reset the application, then signed something). The serialization/deserialization process does restore a previously added account, but it doesn't restore the index instructing the keyring to use that account for signing. As a result, after serializing then deserializing the keyring state, the account at index "0" is always used for signing even if it isn't the current account. Patches This has been patched ("#14" (https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-ledger-bridge-keyring/pull/14)) in version >=0.2.1 of ""eth-ledger-bridge-keyring"" (https://www.npmjs.com/package/eth-ledger-bridge-keyring), and in version >=0.2.2 of ""@metamask/eth-ledger-bridge-keyring"" (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@metamask/eth-ledger-bridge-keyring). Users are encouraged to migrate to the new package name. Workarounds To work around this problem without updating, you should remove then re-add the account before use. As long as the account was added during the lifetime of that process, signing with that account should work correctly.
