CVE-2023-7345: Ledger Live hw-app-eth EIP-712 Message Parsing Integer Truncation
Ledger Live with vulnerable versions of ledgerhq/hw-app-eth prior to 6.34.7 contains an integer parsing vulnerability that allows attackers to manipulate EIP-712 typed data messages by exploiting incorrect hexadecimal field parsing when values contain an odd number of characters. Attackers can obtain signatures on truncated or misinterpreted message values to authorize unintended blockchain transactions, such as asset transfers at incorrect amounts.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This issue affects Ledger Live environments that used vulnerable ledgerhq/hw-app-eth versions before 6.34.7 for Ethereum EIP-712 typed-data signing. Malformed odd-length hexadecimal values could be parsed incorrectly, so a user might approve one displayed meaning while the signed data authorizes a different blockchain transaction, including incorrect transfer amounts.
Executive priority
Treat as a moderate integrity risk for cryptocurrency signing operations. Prioritize updates where Ledger Live is used for Ethereum typed-data approvals, especially in treasury, custody, or high-value transaction workflows.
Technical view
The vulnerability is an integer parsing/type conversion issue (CWE-704) in EIP-712 message parsing. When hexadecimal fields have an odd number of characters, hw-app-eth can truncate or misinterpret values before signing. CVSS 4.0 is 6.9 with network reachability, low complexity, no privileges, required user interaction, and high integrity impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely where Ledger Live or integrations depended on ledgerhq/hw-app-eth before 6.34.7 and processed EIP-712 typed-data signing requests. The source bundle does not identify broader Ledger products or hosted services as affected.
Exploitation context
The sources describe a user-assisted signing risk, not confirmed active exploitation. CVE data marks the issue as not in KEV. An attacker would need to get a victim to sign crafted EIP-712 data that is parsed differently than intended.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports incorrect hexadecimal field parsing with odd-length values leading to truncated or misinterpreted EIP-712 message values. Public sources provided do not establish exploitation in the wild, affected CPEs, or mitigations beyond upgrading and following Ledger guidance.
Mitigation direction
Update ledgerhq/hw-app-eth to version 6.34.7 or later.
Check Ledger Security Bulletin 020 for vendor-specific guidance.
Ensure Ledger Live components using hw-app-eth are current.
Warn users to scrutinize EIP-712 signing prompts and transaction amounts.
Review high-value signing workflows for typed-data dependency.
Validation and detection
Inventory Ledger Live and hw-app-eth versions in use.
Confirm no deployed component uses hw-app-eth before 6.34.7.
Review recent EIP-712 signing activity for unexpected asset transfers.

Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast
Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
