You can detect missing access controls by mapping state variables and building dependency graphs to identify functions bypassing require statements or modifiers established by the contract's own patterns.

Guard-state consistency analysis identifies inconsistent pause checks by treating the contract as its own specification, using AST parsing and anomaly detection to flag functions missing security guards applied elsewhere to critical state variables.

Yes, you can audit smart contracts for forgotten access controls by analyzing deviations from established guard patterns, pinpointing missing require statements or modifiers even when traditional vulnerability detection tools report zero issues.

The Consistency Principle in smart contract security auditing dictates that a contract is its own specification, meaning functions accessing the same state variable should consistently apply identical security guards across all operations.

Yes, vulnerability detection for logic bugs requires AST parsing, state mapping, and dependency graph construction to systematically compare applied guards against expected access controls across all relevant functions within the contract.
