The company said the vulnerability can only be exploited under highly complex conditions.
Trezor indicated that users do not need to move funds or make changes to their devices.
The hardware wallet manufacturer, Trezor, recognized this June 3, a security vulnerability in TROPIC01, the chip integrated into its latest Safe 7 wallet model, although it assured that user funds remain protected, and that no action is necessary.
Through a release, The company explained that the flaw was detected during an independent audit and affects only one of the device’s several layers of defense, without compromising private keys or backups.
The discovery occurred from tests carried out by Donjon, Ledger’s security research team, which managed to bypass some of the chip’s protections in a laboratory environment with specialized tools.
Following that discovery, Tropic Square, Trezor’s sister company and developer of TROPIC01, identified a weakness that could expose additional information stored in the component. Even so, Trezor insisted that this situation does not open the door to access to funds.
The company stressed that Safe 7 does not depend on a single element to protect assets, but on a multi-layered security scheme. Therefore, a partial failure in the chip would not be enough to take control of a wallet.
Besides, The exploitation scenario described by the company requires an attacker to have the device in their handsplus expensive equipment and advanced technical knowledge, which significantly reduces the risk for most users.
Trezor also clarified that there is no evidence of real-world malicious use or devices being compromised by this vulnerability. In that sense, the firm maintained that clients do not need to move funds, change settings or take urgent actions.
Trezor’s Director of Communications, known as Danny S, assured through X that no hardware “is impeccable” but that the architecture behind the wallet chips allows “real” vulnerabilities to be found, discussed and corrected.
On the other hand, he stated: “This is how technology really gets stronger over time. I know hearing about a vulnerability may cause some concern, but your funds are completely safe.”
He thus reiterates that there is no evidence of real exploitation or affected users, and defended the open disclosure of vulnerabilities as a practice that .
The company assured that its position of making the failure public in a transparent manner It should be a model that the sector should followas it strengthens the security of the entire industry.
The central idea, according to Trezor, is that Acknowledging weaknesses does not weaken confidencebut can reinforce it when the real scope of the problem is clearly explained. However, the finding focuses on the security of self-custody devices and the need for constant audits even between rival companies.
For users, the main message is one of peace of mind: there are no signs of theft, or exposure of private keys, or compromise of backup copies. Even so, The episode reminds us that the security of a hardware wallet does not depend only on the devicebut also physical control, protection of the recovery phrase and care with sensitive information.
