Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned trailofbits/skills at 82fe822625.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The solana-vulnerability-scanner skill analyzes Solana programs for common security vulnerabilities. It identifies potential issues like instruction signature verification bypasses, oracle manipulation, and improper access control within smart contracts deployed on the Solana blockchain. This allows developers to proactively address weaknesses before they can be exploited.

When to use it

  • Auditing new Solana programs: Before deploying a program to mainnet, scan for vulnerabilities.
  • Reviewing existing Solana programs: Regularly check deployed programs for newly discovered vulnerability patterns.
  • Analyzing open-source Solana projects: Assess the security posture of third-party code before integrating it into your own applications.
  • Responding to security concerns: Investigate potential vulnerabilities reported by community members or internal teams.

Key capabilities

  • Solana program analysis
  • Vulnerability detection
  • Identification of common smart contract flaws (e.g., signature verification bypasses, oracle manipulation)
  • Support for various Solana instruction patterns

Example prompts

  • "Scan the Solana program BpMP5DeBEEsyo1Gbuh6DRu2tSW98CmfWq7hKqUaJpR4o for vulnerabilities."
  • "Analyze this Solana program code snippet and identify any potential security risks: [paste code here]"
  • “What are the common vulnerability patterns found in Solana programs?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires a working understanding of Solana blockchain architecture and smart contract principles to effectively interpret results. It's recommended to combine this tool with manual code review for comprehensive security assessments.
