SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Security audits of Substrate runtimes and pallets to identify, reason about, and remediate vulnerabilities that could lead to fund loss, replays, or governance-time issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

Threat discovery: Enumerates potential attack paths across runtime code, storage, and cross-pallet interactions.
Adversarial reasoning: Applies structured attacker perspective to stress-test logic and identify edge cases, origin & permission gaps, and accidental backdoors.
Remediation guidance: Produces concrete fixes, suggested unit tests, and safe-defaults to harden the runtime.

Quick Start

Provide an audit plan and run a targeted scan on the runtime to generate a prioritized report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I audit a Substrate runtime for security vulnerabilities?▼

Auditing a Substrate runtime involves analyzing in-scope Rust pallets to identify origin checks, storage patterns, and cross-pallet interactions. It produces a structured findings report with prioritized issues, supporting evidence, and concrete fixes for developer remediation.

What attack vectors should I look for in Substrate pallets?▼

Substrate pallet attack vectors include origin and permission gaps, storage pattern flaws, cross-pallet interaction vulnerabilities, and accidental backdoors. Adversarial reasoning applies a structured attacker perspective to stress-test logic and identify these edge cases.

Does this security audit require specific dependencies to scan Rust code?▼

No specific dependencies are required to perform this security audit. The process directly analyzes your Substrate runtime Rust code and pallets to uncover exploit paths and determine real-world risk without needing external tooling components.

How do I remediate governance-time issues and fund loss risks in my runtime?▼

To remediate governance-time issues and fund loss risks, you apply the structured findings report generated during the audit. This report provides concrete fixes, suggested unit tests, and safe-defaults to harden the runtime effectively.

What is the best way to uncover privileged pathways in Substrate code?▼

The best way to uncover privileged pathways is through targeted adversarial reasoning during a security audit. This method stresses runtime logic to identify exploit paths and determine the real-world risk of accidental backdoors.
