Substrate Vulnerability Scanner

1. Purpose

Systematically scan Substrate runtime modules (pallets) for platform-specific security vulnerabilities that can cause node crashes, DoS attacks, or unauthorized access. This skill encodes 7 critical vulnerability patterns unique to Substrate/FRAME-based chains.

2. When to Use This Skill

  • Auditing custom Substrate pallets
  • Reviewing FRAME runtime code
  • Pre-launch security assessment of Substrate chains (Polkadot parachains, standalone chains)
  • Validating dispatchable extrinsic functions
  • Reviewing weight calculation functions
  • Assessing unsigned transaction validation logic

3. Platform Detection

File Extensions & Indicators
  • Rust files: .rs
Language/Framework Markers
// Substrate/FRAME indicators
#[pallet]
pub mod pallet {
    use frame_support::pallet_prelude::*;
    use frame_system::pallet_prelude::*;

    #[pallet::config]
    pub trait Config: frame_system::Config { }

    #[pallet::call]
    impl<T: Config> Pallet<T> {
        #[pallet::weight(10_000)]
        pub fn example_function(origin: OriginFor<T>) -> DispatchResult { }
    }
}

Project Structure
  • pallets/*/lib.rs - Pallet implementations
  • runtime/lib.rs - Runtime configuration
  • benchmarking.rs - Weight benchmarks
  • Cargo.toml with frame-* dependencies
Tool Support
  • cargo-fuzz: Fuzz testing for Rust
  • test-fuzz: Property-based testing framework
  • benchmarking framework: Built-in weight calculation
  • try-runtime: Runtime migration testing

4. How This Skill Works

When invoked, I will:

  1. Search your codebase for Substrate pallets
  2. Analyze each pallet for the 7 vulnerability patterns
  3. Report findings with file references and severity
  4. Provide fixes for each identified issue
  5. Check weight calculations and origin validation

5. Vulnerability Patterns (7 Critical Patterns)

I check for 7 critical vulnerability patterns unique to Substrate/FRAME. For detailed detection patterns, code examples, mitigations, and testing strategies, see VULNERABILITY_PATTERNS.md.

Pattern Summary:
  1. Arithmetic Overflow ⚠️ CRITICAL

    • Direct +, -, *, / operators wrap in release mode
    • Must use checked_* or saturating_* methods
    • Affects balance/token calculations, reward/fee math
  2. Don't Panic ⚠️ CRITICAL - DoS

    • Panics cause node to stop processing blocks
    • No unwrap(), expect(), array indexing without bounds check
    • All user input must be validated with ensure!
  3. Weights and Fees ⚠️ CRITICAL - DoS

    • Incorrect weights allow spam attacks
    • Fixed weights for variable-cost operations enable DoS
    • Must use benchmarking framework, bound all input parameters
  4. Verify First, Write Last ⚠️ HIGH (Pre-v0.9.25)

    • Storage writes before validation persist on error (pre-v0.9.25)
    • Pattern: validate → write → emit event
    • Upgrade to v0.9.25+ or use manual #[transactional]
  5. Unsigned Transaction Validation ⚠️ HIGH

    • Insufficient validation allows spam/replay attacks
    • Prefer signed transactions
    • If unsigned: validate parameters, replay protection, authenticate source
  6. Bad Randomness ⚠️ MEDIUM

    • pallet_randomness_collective_flip vulnerable to collusion
    • Must use BABE randomness (pallet_babe::RandomnessFromOneEpochAgo)
    • Use random(subject) not random_seed()
  7. Bad Origin ⚠️ CRITICAL

    • ensure_signed allows any user for privileged operations
    • Must use ensure_root or custom origins (ForceOrigin, AdminOrigin)
    • Origin types must be properly configured in runtime

For complete vulnerability patterns with code examples, see VULNERABILITY_PATTERNS.md.


6. Scanning Workflow

Step 1: Platform Identification
  1. Verify Substrate/FRAME framework usage
  2. Check Substrate version (v0.9.25+ has transactional storage)
  3. Locate pallet implementations (pallets/*/lib.rs)
  4. Identify runtime configuration (runtime/lib.rs)
Step 2: Dispatchable Analysis

For each #[pallet::call] function:

  • Arithmetic: Uses checked/saturating operations?
  • Panics: No unwrap/expect/indexing?
  • Weights: Proportional to cost, bounded inputs?
  • Origin: Appropriate validation level?
  • Validation: All checks before storage writes?
Step 3: Panic Sweep
# Search for panic-prone patterns
rg "unwrap\(\)" pallets/
rg "expect\(" pallets/
rg "\[.*\]" pallets/  # Array indexing
rg " as u\d+" pallets/  # Type casts
rg "\.unwrap_or" pallets/
Step 4: Arithmetic Safety Check
# Find direct arithmetic
rg " \+ |\+=| - |-=| \* |\*=| / |/=" pallets/

# Should find checked/saturating alternatives instead
rg "checked_add|checked_sub|checked_mul|checked_div" pallets/
rg "saturating_add|saturating_sub|saturating_mul" pallets/
Step 5: Weight Analysis
  • Run benchmarking: cargo test --features runtime-benchmarks
  • Verify weights match computational cost
  • Check for bounded input parameters
  • Review weight calculation functions
Step 6: Origin & Privilege Review
# Find privileged operations
rg "ensure_signed" pallets/ | grep -E "pause|emergency|admin|force|sudo"

# Should use ensure_root or custom origins
rg "ensure_root|ForceOrigin|AdminOrigin" pallets/
Step 7: Testing Review
  • Unit tests cover all dispatchables
  • Fuzz tests for panic conditions
  • Benchmarks for weight calculation
  • try-runtime tests for migrations

7. Priority Guidelines

Critical (Immediate Fix Required)
  • Arithmetic overflow (token creation, balance manipulation)
  • Panic DoS (node crash risk)
  • Bad origin (unauthorized privileged operations)
High (Fix Before Launch)
  • Incorrect weights (DoS via spam)
  • Verify-first violations (state corruption, pre-v0.9.25)
  • Unsigned validation issues (spam, replay attacks)
Medium (Address in Audit)
  • Bad randomness (manipulation possible but limited impact)

8. Testing Recommendations

Fuzz Testing
// Use test-fuzz for property-based testing
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use test_fuzz::test_fuzz;

    #[test_fuzz]
    fn fuzz_transfer(from: AccountId, to: AccountId, amount: u128) {
        // Should never panic
        let _ = Pallet::transfer(from, to, amount);
    }

    #[test_fuzz]
    fn fuzz_no_panics(call: Call) {
        // No dispatchable should panic
        let _ = call.dispatch(origin);
    }
}
Benchmarking
# Run benchmarks to generate weights
cargo build --release --features runtime-benchmarks
./target/release/node benchmark pallet \
    --chain dev \
    --pallet pallet_example \
    --extrinsic "*" \
    --steps 50 \
    --repeat 20
try-runtime
# Test runtime upgrades
cargo build --release --features try-runtime
try-runtime --runtime ./target/release/wbuild/runtime.wasm \
    on-runtime-upgrade live --uri wss://rpc.polkadot.io

10. Quick Reference Checklist

Before completing Substrate pallet audit:

Arithmetic Safety (CRITICAL):

  • No direct +, -, *, / operators in dispatchables
  • All arithmetic uses checked_* or saturating_*
  • Type conversions use try_into() with error handling

Panic Prevention (CRITICAL):

  • No unwrap() or expect() in dispatchables
  • No direct array/slice indexing without bounds check
  • All user inputs validated with ensure!
  • Division operations check for zero divisor

Weights & DoS (CRITICAL):

  • Weights proportional to computational cost
  • Input parameters have maximum bounds
  • Benchmarking used to determine weights
  • No free (zero-weight) expensive operations

Access Control (CRITICAL):

  • Privileged operations use ensure_root or custom origins
  • ensure_signed only for user-level operations
  • Origin types properly configured in runtime
  • Sudo pallet removed before production

Storage Safety (HIGH):

  • Using Substrate v0.9.25+ OR manual #[transactional]
  • Validation before storage writes
  • Events emitted after successful operations

Other (MEDIUM):

  • Unsigned transactions use signed alternative if possible
  • If unsigned: proper validation, replay protection, authentication
  • BABE randomness used (not RandomnessCollectiveFlip)
  • Randomness uses random(subject) not random_seed()

Testing:

  • Unit tests for all dispatchables
  • Fuzz tests to find panics
  • Benchmarks generated and verified
  • try-runtime tests for migrations
