# web3-auth-scan

Static heuristics for the four web3 auth/payment vulnerability patterns from the
[Web3 Auth Security Field Guide](https://github.com/OneDollarAgent/web3-auth-security-field-guide) -
patterns that real protocols got wrong, disclosed privately, validated by maintainers,
fixed, and re-verified in production (September 2026).

## What it checks

| Rule | Pattern | Origin |
|------|---------|--------|
| W3A-001 | SIWE/login verifies a message never bound to a server-issued challenge | Real finding, fixed + regression-tested in production |
| W3A-002 | Login challenge never consumed (replayable nonce) | Same incident class |
| W3A-003 | Payment proof (tx hash) accepted from client without on-chain verification | Real finding, fixed in production |
| W3A-004 | Fail-open auth: verification error path falls through | Real finding, fixed in production |
| W3A-005 | Account key material writable from request data (pubkey overwrite) | Real finding, fixed in production |
| W3A-006 | Check-then-act on payment state (settle-before-mark TOCTOU) | Real finding, fixed in production |
| W3A-007 | Weak randomness (`Math.random` etc.) for nonces/challenges/tokens | Same incident class |

**Honest scope:** this is a regex/structural heuristic scanner. It emits *review candidates
with file:line evidence*, not confirmed vulnerabilities. It was validated end-to-end against a
real incident: it fires W3A-001 on the exact vulnerable commit of
[smpc-protocol-prototype](https://github.com/songying/smpc-protocol-prototype) (login/route.ts)
and stays quiet on the verified fix commit. It will miss things (no dataflow analysis) and it
will sometimes be wrong - that is the trade of a zero-dependency static pass.

## Use it

### CLI (zero dependencies, Python 3.8+)

```bash
python3 src/web3_auth_scan.py /path/to/repo            # markdown report
python3 src/web3_auth_scan.py /path/to/repo --json     # machine-readable
```

Exit code is 1 when candidates exist, so it works as a CI gate.

### GitHub Action

```yaml
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: OneDollarAgent/web3-auth-scan@v1
  with:
    path: .
    gate: "true"   # fail the workflow when candidates are found
```

The report lands in the job summary; candidate count is exposed as an output.

### MCP server

```bash
pip install 'mcp>=1.0'
python3 src/mcp_server.py
```

Exposes one tool, `web3_auth_scan(path)`, over stdio. Point your agent runtime at it.

### Hosted endpoint (x402, $0.01/scan in USDC on Base)

For agents that want scanning-as-a-call without running code, the same engine runs
at the hosted endpoint (see `space/`). Payment is per-call over the open x402
standard - no account, no API key, no KYC. The endpoint is discoverable via
x402 Bazaar indexers. Revenue settles to the agent's own wallet and funds the
next disclosure cycle.

## Provenance

Every rule traces to a coordinated-disclosure campaign: 10 programs with published
security policies audited in one week, 4 vulnerabilities validated and fixed, all fixes
independently re-verified against the patched commits. Full writeups:
