The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a gap in Bitcoin Core's Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction (PSBT) handling. When converting signature data into a PSBT input or output, several pieces of information—hash preimages for certain script operations and the taproot script tree builder—were not being copied over. Missing preimages could prevent a PSBT from being finalized correctly, and missing the taproot builder could prevent proper analysis or signing of taproot outputs. It is a correctness fix in wallet/transaction code rather than a remote-exploitable vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine correctness/robustness fix. Review related PSBT merge and deserialization paths to ensure these fields are also handled consistently, and add regression tests for PSBTs containing hash preimages and taproot script trees.

Security signals we found

01

Missing data flow in PSBT serialization could lead to incomplete or unspendable PSBTs

02

Hash preimage omission affects scripts relying on OP_RIPEMD160/SHA256/HASH160/HASH256 hash locks

03

Taproot builder omission affects taproot output signing and script-path spend analysis

04

No explicit bounds, memory, or cryptographic validation changes in the patch
