Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The nostr crate, versions before 0.44.7, has wallet event parsers for NIP-47 responses and notifications and for NIP-60 wallet events that decrypt events before checking their author. A malicious relay can deliver an event signed by an attacker, so forged wallet responses, notifications, tokens, spending records, or quotes get accepted as coming from the configured wallet. This can corrupt wallet state or make an application act on forged data. Upgrade to nostr 0.44.7 or later.
