The blocklist URL in shipped code named a competitor and pointed at a moving
ref, and the extension re-fetched from it every 24 hours, which also meant a
third party decided what this wallet warns about. All of that is gone.
script/vendor-blocklist fetches upstream at a pinned commit, verifies the
sha256 of the bytes that commit serves, and writes
src/shared/phishingBlocklist.json. It is build-time tooling, never shipped, and
the one place in the repo that names the upstream project; a source reference
nobody can verify is not a source reference.
The artifact stores truncated sha256 digests rather than domain names. That is
what censors it: the previous file contained the competitor's name 6,475 times,
as phishing domains impersonating them, and not one of those domains is
dropped. It also makes lookups a binary search over a fixed-width string, so
nothing is built at module load — which matters on MV3, where the worker
re-evaluates the module on every wake — and takes the file from 8.7 MB to
1.7 MB.
script/check-censored enforces the rest: it reads the name out of the vendoring
script rather than repeating it, and fails on any occurrence in the working
tree or under dist/ that is not one of the two literals shipped code cannot
avoid. It runs in make check, which inspects dist/ when there is one and says
loudly when there is not, and again with --require-dist at the end of every
make build.
Removing the runtime fetch retires the delta, the extension-storage persistence
and the 24-hour alarm from #158. A retired alarm is now cleared rather than
left waking the worker forever on installs that already have it.
The e2e suite drives the warning end to end from a real blocklisted origin
served as a real http(s) site, with a control asserting the banner stays hidden
for one that is not listed. Its service-worker interception canary needed a new
anchor, since the startup fetch it used to watch for no longer happens: it now
wakes the worker with a message and asks it for one throwaway fetch.
LICENSE no longer cites a repository that returns 404.
eslint.config.js gains one block: script/lib/ holds node programs the shell
entrypoints call, and without it they lint with no globals at all.
Expands the confirm-tx warning system with three new warning types, all using the existing `visibility:hidden/visible` pattern from PR #98 (no animations, no layout shift).
## Changes
1. **Scam address list expanded** (7 → 652 addresses): Sourced from [MyEtherWallet/ethereum-lists](https://github.com/MyEtherWallet/ethereum-lists) darklist (MIT license). Checked synchronously before sending.
2. **Contract address warning**: When the recipient is a smart contract (detected via `getCode`), shows a warning that sending directly to a contract may result in permanent loss of funds.
3. **Null/burn address warning**: Detects known burn addresses (`0x0000...0000`, `0x...dead`, `0x...deadbeef`) and warns that funds are permanently destroyed.
4. **No-history warning** (existing from #98): Unchanged, still shows for EOAs with zero transaction history.
All warnings use reserved-space `visibility:hidden/visible` elements — no layout shift, no animations.
