Solana Program Security Audits

Solana processes 40M+ daily transactions with billions in TVL across DeFi, NFTs, and payments. Its account-based architecture creates entirely different vulnerability classes than the EVM. Auditors need deep Rust and Solana runtime expertise to catch them.

Solana-Specific Security Risks

Every blockchain has unique security properties. These are the risks specific to building on Solana.

Account Model Vulnerabilities

Solana programs don't own their data. Accounts must be explicitly validated: ownership, type, initialization status. Missing checks are the #1 exploit vector.

CPI (Cross-Program Invocation) Risks

Programs calling other programs can be tricked into invoking attacker-controlled code that mimics expected interfaces.

PDA Seed Collisions

Program Derived Addresses with weak seeds can collide, allowing attackers to substitute malicious accounts.

Unchecked Arithmetic in Release Mode

Rust's integer overflow checks are disabled in release builds by default. Programs that rely on debug-mode panics ship exploitable math.

Notable Exploits on Solana
