Restoring with BIP39 words:
Bitcoin Knots doesn’t directly support BIP39 seed phrases. However, you can convert the seed into private keys using external tools and then import them into Bitcoin Knots. This process requires care and technical knowledge to avoid mistakes.
Safety of Bitcoin Knots regarding JavaScript attacks:
Bitcoin Knots is built in C++ and doesn’t rely on JavaScript libraries or environments that are typically targeted by such attacks. As long as you use trusted binaries and run it on a clean system, it remains secure.
Recovering funds safely:
Export your private keys or seed securely, preferably while offline. Moving the funds to a cold wallet like a hardware wallet is the safest option. If you choose to use Bitcoin Knots, ensure you carefully convert and import the keys, verifying each step to prevent loss.
That's what I think
Thanks a lot for the answer. If you do not mind a follow up, are the funds safe at rest for now, until I try to move them?
Is there a possibility the wallet makers will release a patch to defend against this vulnerability?

Are the funds safe at rest for now?
Yes, your funds should be fine as long as you’re not sending transactions. The issue mainly happens when you create or approve a transaction — that’s when attackers could try to manipulate it. So if you’re just holding your Bitcoin and not making any transfers, there’s no immediate danger.
Will the wallet makers fix this with a patch.
Most likely, yes. Developers usually respond quickly to vulnerabilities like this, especially when they’re public and can affect many users. I’d expect them to release updates or patches soon to fix the issue. Still, it’s smart to be cautious, avoid sending funds until the fix is out, and get ready to move them to a safer setup when you can.
Kinda yes do lemme know if you wanna monitor patch or when it's released
