PasswordStore
A Security Audit Report
Details
The PasswordStore protocol was developed by Patrick Collins, CEO and Co-Founder of Cyfrin. This codebase is part of a training module on Smart Contract Security and Auditing. It purposefully has three different vulnerabilities that the student is invited to identify and document.
This report's findings differ from the official one with respect to severity ratings assigned. Two of the findings in the course were labeled "High Severity". However, since both the likelihood of exploitation and financial impact were deemed high, those vulnerabilities were labeled "Critical" in my report.
Work Process
- The initial phase of smart contract auditing entails a thorough review of the contract's code. In a dialog with the protocol developers, I will carefully examine the logic, security protocols, and potential vulnerabilities within the codebase.
- The second phase involves robust security testing to pinpoint and assess vulnerabilities. I will conduct comprehensive tests for common exploits, ensuring the smart contract's resilience against potential threats.
- In the final phase, I will provide detailed documentation of audit findings along with friendly recommendations for improvement. My goal is to offer clear and actionable insights, empowering developers to enhance the security and reliability of the smart contract in a collaborative manner.
