This library does not validate the checksum in the mnemonic seed phrase prior to use. In the context of a cryptocurrency wallet, this could lead to loss of funds, for example if someone imports the wrong seed phrase into their wallet (e.g. swapping two words), sends funds to the resulting addresses, and then are unable to remember what mistake they made when attempting to restore.
