Smart Contract Audit Checklist 2026
Critical Vulnerabilities
1. Reentrancy
- All external calls guarded by ReentrancyGuard or follow checks-effects-interactions
- Cross-function reentrancy risks identified
- ERC777 / ERC1155 token hooks considered
2. Access Control
- No
tx.originfor authorization (usemsg.sender) - Role-based access for multi-admin systems
- Initialization functions protected from frontrunning
3. Oracle Manipulation
- TWAP oracles used instead of spot price
- Oracle price freshness checks implemented
Medium Severity
4. External Calls
- All
.call()return values checked withrequire() - Gas limits set on low-level calls
5. Frontrunning / MEV
- Slippage protection in swaps
- Deadline parameters on user transactions
Low Priority
6. Gas Optimization
- Unchecked blocks for for-loop increments
- Events emitted for state changes
7. Code Quality
- Explicit function visibility on all functions
- Unused variables and imports removed
