CFT concerns have increased due to a flaw in the Yasmarang PRNG that may affect Coldcard features such as paper wallets and cosigning keys. However, mnemonic phrases remain secure if generated using dice rolls. MiCA compliance could be jeopardized if random number generation flaws persist. Secret Teleport, HSM mode, and password generation are also at risk. Users are advised to review their security practices amid regulatory scrutiny.

According to ME News, on August 2 (UTC+8), Bitcoin News posted on X that although mnemonic phrases remain secure if generated via dice rolls or imported from existing phrases, multiple Coldcard features may still be vulnerable due to the Yasmarang PRNG flaw. Affected features include paper wallets, device cloning, USB sessions, Secret Teleport, multisignature keys, password generator, and HSM mode. While the mnemonic phrase itself remains secure if imported or generated through sufficient dice rolls, using these features may still expose secrets generated by the flawed random number generator.
