SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you audit Nim code for security vulnerabilities by turning fuzzy suspicions into structured hypotheses, traceable evidence, and confidence-scored findings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end vulnerability discovery workflow that progresses from scope definition to triage and reporting.
  • Attack surface enumeration for Nim-specific patterns (parse/alloc/recv/index/cast/ffi/async/int) with concrete failure modes.
  • Evidence-driven confirmation using static traces and optional sanitizer-backed repro builds.

Quick Start

Use the nim-vuln-discovery skill to audit your Nim repository and produce a classified, confidence-scored vulnerability report with file/line evidence and a reproducer when confirmed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find security vulnerabilities in Nim source code?

Static analysis for Nim vulnerability discovery involves mapping trust-boundary attack surfaces, generating testable hypotheses for parsing, allocation, casting, FFI, async, and numeric handling, and confirming findings with static traces and optional sanitizer builds.

What's the best way to audit Nim code for memory and parsing bugs?

The best way to audit Nim code for memory and parsing bugs is using an end-to-end vulnerability discovery workflow that progresses from scope definition and attack-surface enumeration to evidence-driven confirmation, triage classification, and confidence-scored reporting.

Can I use sanitizer builds to confirm Nim security bugs?

Yes, you can use sanitizer builds to confirm Nim security bugs by generating optional sanitizer-backed reproducer builds that provide evidence-driven confirmation of vulnerabilities found during static analysis.

How do I reduce false positives when fuzzing Nim applications?

Reduce false positives during Nim vulnerability discovery by applying confidence scoring and false-positive reduction techniques during the triage classification stage, ensuring findings are backed by static traces or confirmed reproducer builds.

Does Nim vulnerability discovery work for FFI and async code patterns?

Yes, Nim vulnerability discovery works for FFI and async code patterns by explicitly enumerating them as trust-boundary attack surfaces alongside parsing, allocation, indexing, casting, and numeric handling to identify concrete failure modes and generate testable hypotheses.

How do I generate reproducible bug reports for Nim vulnerabilities?

Generate reproducible bug reports for Nim vulnerabilities by collecting evidence through static traces and optional sanitizer-backed reproducer builds, then classify findings with confidence scores and attach file/line evidence for confirmed vulnerabilities.
