solana-vulnerability-scanner SKILL.md skillA
solana-vulnerability-scanner from trailofbits/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add trailofbits/skills/solana-vulnerability-scanner@git:20260831.6feac67Pins git:20260831.6feac67 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Scans Solana programs for 6 critical vulnerabilities including arbitrary CPI, improper PDA validation, missing signer/ownership checks, and sysvar spoofing. Use when auditing Solana/Anchor programs.
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
# Solana Vulnerability Scanner
## 1. Purpose
Systematically scan Solana programs (native and Anchor framework) for platform-specific security vulnerabilities related to cross-program invocations, account validation, and program-derived addresses. This skill encodes 6 critical vulnerability patterns unique to Solana's account model.
## 2. When to Use This Skill
- Auditing Solana programs (native Rust or Anchor)
- Reviewing cross-program invocation (CPI) logic
- Validating program-derived address (PDA) implementations
- Pre-launch security assessment of Solana protocols
- Reviewing account validation patterns
- Assessing instruction introspection logic
## 3. Platform Detection
### File Extensions & Indicators
- **Rust files**: `.rs`
### Language/Framework Markers
```rust
// Native Solana program indicators
use solana_program::{
account_info::AccountInfo,
entrypoint,
entrypoint::ProgramResult,
pubkey::Pubkey,
program::invoke,
program::invoke_signed,
};
entrypoint!(process_instruction);
// Anchor framework indicators
use anchor_lang::prelude::*;
#[program]
pub mod my_program {
pub fn initialize(ctx: Context<Initialize>) -> Result<()> {

How to install
mdr add trailofbits/skills/solana-vulnerability-scanner@sha256:c6c553e84cd3bfbeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.6feac67, 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.
