Rust Audit

Security audits for Rust-based blockchain applications and smart contracts. We focus on memory safety, concurrency issues, unsafe code patterns, and blockchain-specific vulnerabilities.

What We Cover

Every critical attack surface in Rust blockchain code, reviewed manually

Memory Safety

Even with Rust’s ownership model, unsafe blocks can introduce use-after-free, buffer overflows, and dangling references.

  • Unsafe block auditing
  • Raw pointer dereferences
  • Buffer boundary violations
  • Lifetime and borrow violations

Concurrency & Race Conditions

Rust prevents data races at compile time, but logical race conditions and TOCTOU bugs can still affect blockchain state.

  • TOCTOU vulnerabilities
  • Mutex poisoning paths
  • Async cancellation safety
  • Shared state ordering issues

Arithmetic & Overflow

Checked arithmetic is the default in debug builds but not always in release. We verify every arithmetic operation in critical paths.

  • Wrapping vs saturating arithmetic
  • Integer overflow in release mode
  • Precision loss in fixed-point math
  • Division by zero paths

Solana Program Security

For Anchor and native Solana programs, we audit account validation, CPI safety, and program-derived address handling.

  • Missing signer / owner checks
  • Account data reuse attacks
  • CPI privilege escalation
  • PDA bump seed validation

Access Control & Authorization

Authorization logic that is correct in unit tests can fail under real-world conditions. We stress test every privilege boundary.

  • Missing authority validation
  • Signer spoofing
  • Privilege escalation via CPI
  • Admin key exposure

Serialization & Deserialization

Borsh, bincode, and serde can behave unexpectedly with malformed inputs or versioned data structures.

  • Malformed input handling
  • Discriminator collision
  • Versioning upgrade safety
  • Canonical serialization enforcement
