We investigate the curvature perturbations induced by the randomness of the quantum tunneling process during cosmological first-order phase transitions (PTs) and for the first time ultilize curvature perturbations to constrain the PT parameters. We find that the observations of the cosmic microwave background spectrum distortion and the ultracompact minihalo abundance can give strict constraints on the PTs below 100GeV, especially for the low-scale PTs and the weak PTs. The current constraint on the PT parameters is largely extended by the results in this work.
