Types of Vulnerabilities Detected

OXAudit’s audits cover a range of common security issues, making sure the smart contract is safe from various threats:

Critical Vulnerabilities

Reentrancy Attacks Exploits where malicious actors repeatedly call a function before the previous one is resolved, draining funds.

Integer Overflows and Underflows

Fixes errors in math calErrors caused by exceeding or falling below the numerical limit of a data type.

Unauthorized Access

Weak or missing access control mechanisms that allow unauthorized users to execute sensitive functions.

Major Vulnerabilities

Logic Flaws Errors in the contract’s functionality that can lead to unexpected or exploitable behavior.

Centralization Risks

Over-reliance on a single owner or admin wallet that can compromise decentralization and security.

Improper Validation

Failing to validate user input or transaction data, leading to potential manipulation.

Medium Vulnerabilities

Gas Inefficiencies Functions that consume unnecessary gas, reducing the contract’s cost-efficiency.

Unoptimized Code Poor coding practices that lead to reduced performance or scalability issues.

Frozen Contracts Scenarios where contracts can become unusable due to coding flaws.

Minor Vulnerabilities

Best Practice Violations Non-critical issues such as improper variable naming or lack of comments, impacting readability and maintainability.

Deprecated Functions Use of outdated Solidity functions that are no longer recommended.

Unnecessary Complexity Functions or logic that add unnecessary complications without added benefits.

Informational Findings

Gas Optimization Recommendations Suggestions to improve contract efficiency and save on gas costs.

Coding Style Improvements Suggestions to align with industry coding standards.

Contract Documentation Recommendations to improve the clarity and completeness of documentation.

Benefits of Detecting These Vulnerabilities

Identifying these vulnerabilities ensures:

• Funds and data are secure from exploits.

• Contracts operate as intended without unexpected failures.

• Projects maintain credibility and trust in the blockchain community.

The OXAudit framework empowers developers to address these vulnerabilities proactively, creating a safer and more reliable decentralized ecosystem.
