# Frontend: wallet ownership signature verification is a no-op
**Severity:** medium
**Domain:** Web3
**Labels:** security, frontend, wallet
## Description
`src/sections/account/account-wallet-connection.tsx:425` has a `verifySignature` stub that always passes. The frontend does not actually verify that the signature matches the claimed wallet address, meaning any wallet address can be submitted without proof of ownership.
## Options
1. Implement real client-side verification with `ethers.verifyMessage(message, signature) === wallet.address` as a UX pre-check, keep backend authoritative.
2. Remove the misleading `verifySignature` stub and rely solely on backend (document this).
3. Both: client pre-check and confirm backend enforcement exists.
## Recommendation
Implement `ethers.verifyMessage` as a UX gate AND verify the backend enforces ownership. The stub is actively misleading.
