Integrity: None
Availability: High

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 20 Jan 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-66692, organizations should prioritize updating Trust Wallet Core to versions including the fix introduced at commit 5668c67 or later. In the absence of an official patch, applying temporary controls such as input validation to reject malformed or suspicious data before it reaches the PublicKey::verify() method can reduce risk. Implementing sandboxing or process isolation for wallet operations can limit the impact of potential crashes. Monitoring application logs for unusual input patterns or crashes related to cryptographic verification functions can provide early detection of exploitation attempts. Organizations should also engage with Binance or Trust Wallet Core maintainers to obtain timely security updates and advisories. Incorporating fuzz testing and memory safety analysis into development and deployment pipelines can help identify similar vulnerabilities proactively. Finally, educating developers and security teams about secure coding practices for cryptographic libraries will reduce future risks.

Description

A buffer over-read in the PublicKey::verify() method of Binance - Trust Wallet Core before commit 5668c67 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.

Impact

For European organizations, the main impact of CVE-2025-66692 is the potential disruption of cryptocurrency wallet services that utilize Trust Wallet Core. This can lead to temporary denial of service, affecting transaction verification and user access to wallet functionalities. Financial institutions, fintech companies, and cryptocurrency exchanges that integrate Trust Wallet Core may experience service outages or degraded performance, which could erode customer trust and cause financial losses. Additionally, organizations providing wallet services as part of broader digital asset management platforms may face operational challenges. While the vulnerability does not appear to compromise confidentiality or integrity, the availability impact can be significant in environments requiring high uptime and reliability. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future attacks. European regulatory frameworks emphasizing operational resilience in financial services increase the importance of timely mitigation. Organizations heavily invested in blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies are particularly at risk.
