Detects memory-safety defects in native code (C/C++/Objective-C and unsafe Rust/FFI boundaries) including buffer overflows and overreads, out-of-bounds index math, integer truncation and overflow in size handling, use-after-free and double-free, format-string misuse, uninitialized reads, and dangerous string-copy sinks.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Scope & Objectives

Inventory all native code in the repository, rank it by attacker reachability, then audit each parser, copy site, allocation site, and lifetime transition for memory-safety violations. Confirm or refute every candidate finding by answering one question per sink: who controls the length, and does that length match the allocation?

- In scope (languages): C (.c/.h), C++ (.cc/.cpp/.cxx/.hpp), Objective-C / Objective-C++ (.m/.mm), Rust limited to `unsafe` blocks, `unsafe fn`, `unsafe impl`, FFI (`extern "C"`) surfaces, and `-sys` binding crates; mixed-language boundaries between any of these.
- In scope (defect classes): buffer overflow (CWE-120/121/122); out-of-bounds read (CWE-125); index arithmetic from untrusted fields; integer truncation, signedness confusion, and size-calculation overflow (CWE-190); use-after-free (CWE-416); double free (CWE-415); dangling pointers including container-reallocation invalidation; NULL dereference reached from untrusted input (CWE-476); format-string flaws in the `printf` family (CWE-134); use of uninitialized or partially initialized memory (CWE-457); length-unit and ownership mistakes at FFI boundaries.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add as-foss/aegis-skills/aegis-memory-safety@sha256:3e77d2c5146476c8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.9702747, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
