Audit a cross-chain bridge or messaging protocol for misplaced trust in messages that cross chains: a destination contract that accepts a mint or release on a forged or unverified proof of a source-chain event, a message whose signer set or validator quorum can be spoofed or is too small, a message that can be replayed on the destination or across chains for a repeated withdrawal, and a lock-and-mint or burn-and-release accounting that a crafted message pushes out of balance.

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

# Auditing cross-chain bridge and message trust: the destination must prove the source event, not assume it

A cross-chain bridge does one hard thing: it makes an action on the destination chain, minting a wrapped token,
releasing locked funds, running a message, conditional on an event that happened on the source chain. The
destination cannot see the source directly, so it trusts a proof or an attestation that the event occurred, and
every bridge hack is a failure of that trust. If the destination accepts a mint or release on a forged proof,
an unverified claim, or an attestation from a signer set an attacker can spoof or that is too small to be safe,
the attacker manufactures value from nothing. If a valid message can be replayed, on the destination twice, or
on another chain, one legitimate event authorizes many withdrawals. And the lock-and-mint or burn-and-release
accounting that is supposed to keep supply balanced can be pushed out of balance by a message that mints
without a matching lock or releases without a matching burn. The audit follows a message from source event to

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add unboundcompute/security-agent-skills/auditing-cross-chain-bridge-and-message-trust@sha256:ac93cc944dbc8304

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.f8395d1, 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.
