Ledger fixed a race condition vulnerability in its Ethereum hardware wallet app that could allow malicious decentralized apps to replace legitimate transactions with harmful ones during signing. The bug, involving APDU command timing, risked users unknowingly approving unlimited token transfers to attackers. The fix was quietly released in version 1.22.2 on August 12, 2026, before a security researcher publicly disclosed the issue days later. Users are advised to update their Ethereum app to stay protected, with no reported losses from the flaw so far.
