Most catastrophic DeFi losses come from a small set of recurring classes: reentrancy, broken access control, oracle/price manipulation, and unchecked arithmetic or external calls. This skill runs a **defense-in-depth, pre-deployment audit** of a Foundry project, layering four independent techniques that each catch what the others miss: 1. **Static analysis** — `slither` (90+ detectors) and `aderyn` (Cyfrin, Rust) scan the AST/IR in seconds for known anti-patterns. 2. **Symbolic execution** — `mythril` (optional, slow) explores execution paths and SMT-solves for deep arithmetic/reentrancy bugs. 3. **Property-based testing** — `forge test` with **fuzzing** (`testFuzz_*`) and **invariant tests** (`invariant_*` + handler contracts with ghost variables) proves protocol-level properties hold across millions of random sequences. 4. **Manual review + key hygiene** — a structured checklist (see `references/vulnerability-checklist.md`) and a secrets/keystore audit so no private key ever lives in plaintext and deployment goes through an encrypted `cast` keystore (see `references/secure-deployment-and-keys.md`). The skill is **dev-side and pre-deployment** — it is run by the engineer building the contract, not by a SOC after an incident. Findings gate the deploy: any high/critical static finding, failing test, leaked key, or low coverage = **FAIL**. ## When to Use - Before deploying any Solidity contract to a testnet or mainnet EVM chain. - When writing or reviewing a Foundry project (`foundry.toml`, `src/`, `test/`, `script/`). - When a contract handles value: tokens (ERC-20/721/1155), vaults, staking, AMMs, bridges, governance. - When adding fuzz or invariant tests, or when coverage of value-moving functions is unknown. - When wiring deployment scripts — to verify keys are in an encrypted keystore, not `.env` plaintext. - When integrating a price oracle, external call, `delegatecall`, or upgradeable proxy. - When triaging a Slither/Aderyn report and needing to separate real bugs from false positives. ## Prerequisites - **Foundry** installed (`forge`, `cast`, `anvil`): `curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash && foundryup` - **Slither** + solc: `pip install slither-analyzer` and `solc-select install && solc-select use ` - **Aderyn** (recommended): `cargo install aderyn` (or `npm i -g @cyfrin/aderyn`) - **Mythril** (optional, slow symbolic exec): `pip install mythril` - **gitleaks** (key-leak scan): see the companion `implementing-secret-scanning-with-gitleaks` skill - A Foundry project that **compiles** (`forge build` succeeds) — analyzers need build artifacts. - Solidity ^0.8.x is assumed (built-in overflow checks); pre-0.8 contracts need extra SafeMath review. > Install the Python tools in a virtualenv (recommended on externally-managed distros). Never run > analysis against untrusted contract source on a machine with funded wallets unlocked. ## Steps ### Step 1: Build and sanity-check the project ```bash forge build # analyzers require fresh artifacts forge fmt --check # style gate (optional) cat foundry.toml # note solc version, optimizer, remappings, evm_version ``` ### Step 2: Static analysis (fast, run every time) ```bash # Slither — full project (uses foundry.toml + remappings automatically) slither . --json slither-report.json # Aderyn — Cyfrin Rust analyzer, complementary detectors aderyn . -o aderyn-report.json ``` Or run the bundled orchestrator that runs both, deduplicates, and gates the result: ```bash python3 scripts/agent.py --project . --output audit-report.json ``` ### Step 3: Symbolic execution on critical contracts (optional, slow) ```bash # Only on the highest-value contract(s) — Mythril is path-explosive myth analyze src/Vault.sol --solc-json mythril.config.json --execution-timeout 300 -o json # or: python3 scripts/agent.py --project . --mythril src/Vault.sol ``` ### Step 4: Property-based testing — fuzz + invariants ```bash forge test -vvv # unit + fuzz tests forge coverage --report summary # coverage of value-moving code forge test --match-test invariant_ -vvv # invariant suite (handler-based) ``` Every value-moving contract should have **invariant tests with a handler** (bounded inputs, ghost variables, `targetContract(handler)`) — not just unit tests. See `references/api-reference.md` for the handler pattern, and write a `test_RevertWhen_*` (with `vm.expectRevert`) for each access-control guard. ### Step 5: Manual review against the checklist Walk `references/vulnerability-checklist.md` for every contract: reentrancy (checks-effects-interactions / `nonReentrant`), access control, oracle manipulation, `delegatecall`/proxy storage layout, unchecked return values, `tx.origin`, weak randomness, DoS, front-running/MEV, and ERC-specific pitfalls (approve race, fee-on-transfer, rebasing). ### Step 6: Key hygiene & secure deploy ```bash gitleaks detect --no-banner # no private keys / mnemonics / .env committed git ls-files | grep -E '\.env$|keystore' && echo "WARN: secrets tracked by git" # Import the deploy key ONCE into an encrypted keystore — never a plaintext PRIVATE_KEY env cast wallet import deployer --interactive # Deploy via the keystore account (testnet first), simulate before --broadcast forge script script/Deploy.s.sol --account deployer --rpc-url --broadcast --verify ``` See `references/secure-deployment-and-keys.md` for the full hardening rules (MetaMask hygiene, hardware wallet for mainnet, RPC trust, post-deploy verification). ### Step 7: Triage and report Combine Slither + Aderyn + Mythril + test results, deduplicate by (file, line), drop confirmed false positives, rank by exploitability × financial impact, and map each to its SWC id. The orchestrator emits `audit-report.json` with a PASS/FAIL gate. ## Expected Output A JSON audit report listing findings with **SWC identifiers**, severity, tool source, affected contract/function/line, and remediation; plus the test/coverage summary and a single **PASS / FAIL** deploy gate. FAIL on any high/critical static finding, failing test, leaked secret, or coverage below the configured threshold on value-moving code. ## Other files in this skill - [LICENSE](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/auditing-foundry-smart-contract-security/LICENSE) - [references/api-reference.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/auditing-foundry-smart-contract-security/references/api-reference.md) - [references/secure-deployment-and-keys.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/auditing-foundry-smart-contract-security/references/secure-deployment-and-keys.md) - [references/vulnerability-checklist.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/auditing-foundry-smart-contract-security/references/vulnerability-checklist.md) - [scripts/agent.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/HEAD/skills/auditing-foundry-smart-contract-security/scripts/agent.py) ## references/api-reference.md (verbatim) # API Reference — Tooling ## Slither (static analysis) ```bash slither . # whole project (reads foundry.toml + remappings) slither . --json slither-report.json # machine-readable slither . --json - # JSON to stdout (used by agent.py) slither . --print human-summary # quick overview slither . --print inheritance-graph # inheritance / proxy layout slither . --detect reentrancy-eth,unprotected-upgrade # specific detectors slither --list-detectors # all 90+ detectors slither . --exclude-informational --exclude-low # focus high/medium slither . --triage-mode # interactively suppress false positives -> slither.db.json ``` Severity matrix (impact × confidence): | Impact | Confidence | Example detectors | |--------|------------|-------------------| | High | High | `reentrancy-eth`, `suicidal`, `arbitrary-send-eth` | | High | Medium | `controlled-delegatecall`, `reentrancy-no-eth` | | Medium | High | `locked-ether`, `incorrect-equality`, `tx-origin` | | Medium | Medium | `uninitialized-state`, `shadowing-state`, `unchecked-transfer` | | Low | High | `naming-convention`, `solc-version`, `low-level-calls` | | Informational | High | `pragma`, `dead-code`, `assembly` | ## Aderyn (Cyfrin, Rust static analyzer — complementary to Slither) ```bash aderyn . # markdown report.md by default aderyn . -o aderyn-report.json # JSON (used by agent.py) aderyn . --scope src/ # limit scope ``` ## Mythril (symbolic execution — slow, use on critical contracts only) ```bash myth analyze src/Vault.sol -o json myth analyze src/Vault.sol --execution-timeout 300 --max-depth 50 -o json myth analyze --address 0x... --rpc # deployed bytecode (read-only) ``` ## Foundry — testing ```bash forge build # required before static analysis forge test -vvv # unit + fuzz;

assertEq(counter.number(), x); } ``` ### Revert test (replaces deprecated testFail) ```solidity function test_RevertWhen_Unauthorized() public { vm.prank(attacker); vm.expectRevert("Not authorized"); // or vm.expectRevert(MyError.selector) target.adminOnly(); } ``` ### Key cheatcodes (`vm.*`) | Cheatcode | Use | |-----------|-----| | `vm.prank(addr)` / `vm.startPrank` | impersonate caller (test access control) | | `vm.warp(ts)` / `vm.roll(n)` | manipulate `block.timestamp` / `block.number` | | `vm.deal(addr, amt)` | set ETH balance | | `vm.store(addr, slot, val)` | overwrite storage (test invariants under hostile state) | | `vm.expectRevert(...)` | assert a call reverts (with msg / custom error selector) | | `vm.expectEmit(...)` | assert events | | `bound(x, lo, hi)` | constrain fuzz inputs in handlers | | `makeAddr("name")` | deterministic labelled actor | ### Invariant testing — handler pattern (the important one) A handler wraps the target, **bounds inputs**, rotates **actors**, and tracks **ghost variables**; `targetContract(handler)` makes the fuzzer drive only the handler so sequences stay realistic. ```solidity // test/Invariant.t.sol contract VaultInvariantTest is Test { Vault vault; VaultHandler handler; function setUp() public { vault = new Vault(); handler = new VaultHandler(vault); targetContract(address(handler)); // fuzz the handler, not the vault directly } function invariant_ConservationOfDeposits() public view { assertEq(address(vault).balance, handler.ghost_depositSum() - handler.ghost_withdrawSum()); } function invariant_Solvency() public view { assertGe(address(vault).balance, vault.totalDeposits()); } } ``` ```solidity // test/handlers/VaultHandler.sol contract VaultHandler is Test { Vault public vault; uint256 public ghost_depositSum; uint256 public ghost_withdrawSum; address[] public actors; address internal currentActor; modifier useActor(uint256 seed) { currentActor = actors[bound(seed, 0, actors.length - 1)]; vm.startPrank(currentActor); _; vm.stopPrank(); } constructor(Vault _v) { vault = _v; for (uint256 i; i < 10; i++) { actors.push(makeAddr(string(abi.encodePacked("actor", i)))); vm.deal(actors[i], 100 ether); } } function deposit(uint256 amt, uint256 seed) external useActor(seed) { amt = bound(amt, 0.01 ether, 10 ether); vault.deposit{value: amt}(); ghost_depositSum += amt; } function withdraw(uint256 amt, uint256 seed) external useActor(seed) { uint256 bal = vault.balanceOf(currentActor); if (bal == 0) return; amt = bound(amt, 1, bal); vault.withdraw(amt); ghost_withdrawSum += amt; } } ``` Tune in `foundry.toml`: ```toml [invariant] runs = 256 depth = 128 fail_on_revert = false # set true once the handler fully constrains inputs [fuzz] runs = 10000 ``` ## SWC Registry (key entries) | SWC | Title | Detected by | |-----|-------|-------------| | SWC-101 | Integer Overflow/Underflow | Mythril (pre-0.8 only) | | SWC-104 | Unchecked Call Return | Slither + Mythril | | SWC-105 | Unprotected Ether Withdrawal | Slither + Mythril | | SWC-106 | Unprotected SELFDESTRUCT | Slither + Mythril | | SWC-107 | Reentrancy | Slither + Mythril | | SWC-112 | Delegatecall to Untrusted Callee | Slither | | SWC-114 | Transaction Order Dependence (front-running) | manual | | SWC-115 | tx.origin Authentication | Slither | | SWC-116 | Block Timestamp Dependence | Mythril | | SWC-120 | Weak Randomness | Slither + manual | ## References - Slither: https://github.com/crytic/slither - Aderyn: https://github.com/Cyfrin/aderyn - Mythril: https://github.com/Consensys/mythril - Foundry Book: https://getfoundry.sh/ - SWC Registry: https://swcregistry.io/ - Solidity security: https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/security-considerations.html - Solodit (audit findings DB): https://solodit.xyz/ ## references/secure-deployment-and-keys.md (verbatim) # Secure Deployment & Key Hygiene The contract code can be flawless and you still lose everything if a **private key leaks** or you sign a malicious transaction. This is the part most smart-contract guides skip. Treat keys as the highest-severity asset. ## Golden rules 1. **A real private key or seed phrase NEVER touches a file, env var, shell history, or git.** 2. Plaintext `PRIVATE_KEY=0x...` in `.env` is the #1 leak vector — use an **encrypted keystore** instead. 3. **Separate wallets**: a throwaway dev wallet (testnet only) ≠ the mainnet deployer ≠ your personal MetaMask with real funds. 4. **Hardware wallet (Ledger/Trezor) for any mainnet deploy or admin action** that controls funds. 5. Simulate before broadcasting; verify after. ## Foundry encrypted keystore (`cast wallet`) Import the key once into an encrypted, password-protected keystore — then reference it by name. The raw key never appears in commands or files again. ```bash # Import interactively (key is typed, not in argv/history), set a strong password cast wallet import deployer --interactive # Or generate a fresh dev key directly into the keystore cast wallet new # List / inspect (addresses only) cast wallet list ``` Deploy by **account name**, never by `--private-key`: ```bash # Testnet first — simulate (no --broadcast) then broadcast + verify forge script script/Deploy.s.sol --account deployer --rpc-url forge script script/Deploy.s.sol --account deployer --rpc-url --broadcast --verify # Mainnet (prefer a Ledger): forge script script/Deploy.s.sol --ledger --hd-paths "m/44'/60'/0'/0/0" --rpc-url --broadcast --verify ``` In deploy scripts, use `vm.startBroadcast()` with **no argument** (it uses the `--account`/`--ledger` signer). Avoid `vm.envUint("PRIVATE_KEY")`. ## Anti-leak controls (wire into the project) ```bash # 1. .gitignore the usual suspects printf '.env\n.env.*\n*.key\nkeystore/\nbroadcast/\n' >> .gitignore # 2. Scan history + working tree for secrets (see the implementing-secret-scanning-with-gitleaks skill) gitleaks detect --no-banner gitleaks detect --no-banner --log-opts="--all" # full git history # 3. Confirm nothing sensitive is tracked git ls-files | grep -E '\.env$|\.key$|keystore' && echo "REMOVE THESE FROM GIT" ``` If a key was ever committed (even and then deleted): **consider it compromised** — generate a new one, move funds, and purge history (BFG / `git filter-repo`). ## MetaMask / wallet operational security - Dedicated browser profile for Web3; review every signature — **read what you sign**. - Beware **blind signing** and `eth_sign`/`personal_sign` phishing; reject opaque hex. - Token **approval hygiene**: avoid unlimited `approve`; periodically revoke (revoke.cash); prefer `permit` with deadlines. - Verify the **contract address and chain id** before interacting; bookmark dApps, don't follow links. - Add networks/RPCs only from trusted sources — a malicious RPC can lie about state and simulate fake balances. ## RPC & dependency trust - Pin a reputable RPC (your own node, or a known provider); a hostile RPC can feed false data to scripts and frontends. - Pin dependency versions (`forge install` with a tag/commit; lock OpenZeppelin version). Re-audit on bumps. - Verify deployed bytecode matches source on the explorer (`forge verify-contract` / `--verify`). ## Post-deploy checklist - [ ] Source verified on the block explorer. - [ ] Ownership/admin transferred to a **multisig** (Safe), not an EOA, for anything controlling funds. - [ ] Timelock on privileged upgrades/parameter changes. - [ ] Monitoring/alerting on critical events (large withdrawals, ownership changes, pause). - [ ] Emergency runbook: pause + emergency-withdraw path tested on testnet. - [ ] Deploy key rotated/retired if it ever touched a less-trusted machine. ## References - Foundry deploying guide: https://getfoundry.sh/guides/deploying - `cast wallet`: https://getfoundry.sh/cast/reference/wallet - OpenZeppelin Contracts: https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts - Safe (multisig): https://safe.global/ - revoke.cash (approval management): https://revoke.cash/ ## references/vulnerability-checklist.md (verbatim) # Manual Review Checklist — Solidity / EVM Walk this for **every** contract that moves value. Each item: what to look for → how to confirm (Foundry test / Slither detector) → fix. Tools catch the known patterns; this catches the logic bugs they can't. ## 1. Reentrancy (SWC-107) - [ ] External call (`call`, `transfer`, ERC-777 hooks, ERC-721 `onERC...Received`, arbitrary token) **before** state updates? - [ ] Cross-function / read-only reentrancy: a view used by another protocol mid-call? - **Confirm:** Slither `reentrancy-eth`/`reentrancy-no-eth`; write an attacker contract test that re-enters in its `receive()`. - **Fix:** Checks-Effects-Interactions order; `nonReentrant` (OpenZeppelin `ReentrancyGuard`); pull-over-push payments. ("OZ" = OpenZeppelin throughout.) ## 2. Access control (SWC-105/106/115) - [ ] Every state-changing/admin function gated (`onlyOwner`, roles, custom modifier)? - [ ] `initialize()` on upgradeable contracts protected against re-init and front-running? - [ ] No `tx.origin` for auth (phishable) — use `msg.sender`. - [ ] `selfdestruct` / `delegatecall` reachable only by trusted roles? - **Confirm:** a `test_RevertWhen_*` with `vm.prank(attacker)` + `vm.expectRevert` for each guard. - **Fix:** OZ `Ownable2Step` / `AccessControl`; `initializer` modifier; remove `tx.origin`. ## 3. Oracle / price manipulation (DeFi #1 exploit class) - [ ] Price from spot `getReserves()` / a single AMM pool? (flash-loan manipulable) - [ ] Using Chainlink: checked `updatedAt` staleness, `answeredInRound`, min/max bounds, L2 sequencer uptime? - **Confirm:** fork test that manipulates the pool within one tx and asserts your protocol stays solvent. - **Fix:** TWAP / Chainlink with staleness+deviation checks; never trust spot for pricing. ## 4. Arithmetic & rounding (SWC-101) - [ ] Solidity ^0.8 (built-in checked math) — and any `unchecked{}` block justified? - [ ] Division before multiplication (precision loss)? Rounding always in protocol's favor? - [ ] Share-inflation / first-depositor attack on ERC-4626-style vaults? - **Confirm:** `testFuzz_*` over amounts; invariant `assertGe(assets, shares-implied)`. - **Fix:** mulDiv (OZ `Math.mulDiv`); virtual shares/offset for vaults; explicit rounding direction. ## 5. Unchecked external calls / return values (SWC-104) - [ ] Return value of low-level `call`/`send` and ERC-20 `transfer`/`transferFrom` checked? - [ ] Non-standard ERC-20s (no return, fee-on-transfer, rebasing) handled? - **Confirm:** Slither `unchecked-transfer`, `unchecked-lowlevel`. - **Fix:** OZ `SafeERC20`; measure balance delta for fee-on-transfer; require success. ## 6. delegatecall / proxy storage (SWC-112) - [ ] Storage layout identical across implementation upgrades (no reordered/removed vars)? - [ ] No `delegatecall` to user-supplied address; implementation can't be re-initialized/self-destructed? - **Confirm:** Slither `controlled-delegatecall`, `unprotected-upgrade`; storage-layout diff between versions. - **Fix:** OZ `UUPS`/`Transparent` proxies + storage gaps; `_disableInitializers()` in constructor. ## 7. Front-running / MEV / ordering (SWC-114) - [ ] Approve race (ERC-20 `approve` from non-zero to non-zero)? - [ ] Slippage / deadline params on swaps and mints? Commit-reveal where needed? - **Fix:** `increaseAllowance`/`permit`; enforce `minOut` + `deadline`; commit-reveal for sensitive ordering. ## 8. Randomness (SWC-120) - [ ] Any `block.timestamp`/`blockhash`/`prevrandao` used as randomness for value? - **Fix:** Chainlink VRF; never on-chain pseudo-randomness for payouts. ## 9. Denial of service (SWC-113/128) - [ ] Unbounded loops over user-growable arrays? Push payments that can revert and brick the contract? - [ ] Single external dependency whose revert blocks all users? - **Fix:** pull payments; bounded iteration / pagination; isolate failures. ## 10. Token / standard pitfalls - [ ] ERC-20: decimals assumptions, fee-on-transfer, rebasing, missing return. - [ ] ERC-721/1155: safe-transfer reentrancy hooks; approval scope. - [ ] Permit (EIP-2612): replay, deadline, signature malleability. ## 11. General hygiene - [ ] `pragma` pinned (`pragma solidity 0.8.26;` not `^`)? Latest stable solc? - [ ] Events emitted for every state-changing action (off-chain monitoring)? - [ ] No leftover `console.log` / test backdoors / hardcoded addresses? - [ ] Pausability + emergency withdraw for value-holding contracts? - [ ] Invariants written for every conservation law (total supply, solvency, accounting)? ## Severity triage (impact × likelihood) - **Critical/High** → direct loss/lock of funds, unauthorized mint/withdraw, broken access control. **Blocks deploy.** - **Medium** → loss under specific conditions, griefing, precision drift. - **Low/Info** → best-practice, gas, style.
