Onchain Bridges - Automated Security Review (all networks: EVM + Solana + Stellar)
Date: 2026-06-17
Reviewer: RWA Bridge engineering (automated static analysis + manual triage)
EVM compiler: Solc 0.8.24, optimizer on (200 runs)
EVM tools (three independent free/open-source analyzers): Foundry forge lint v1.7.1, Cyfrin aderyn v0.1.9 (63 detectors), solhint (recommended ruleset)
Solana tools: cargo audit (RustSec advisory DB) + structural review of the Anchor programs
Raw output: aderyn-raw, forge-lint-raw, solhint-raw, solana-cargo-audit
Status: This is an automated source-based review (the same static-analysis tools a professional auditor runs as a first pass) plus manual triage of every flagged item. It is a pre-audit technical review for grant due-diligence. It does not replace a full manual smart-contract audit, which remains required before any mainnet deployment.
0. Why the “free scanner” score looks bad (and why it is the wrong tool)
The public link that returned a low score - solidityscan.com/quickscan/<addr>/etherscan/sepolia
- is SolidityScan QuickScan, whose own title is “Free Threat Scanner & Rug Pull Detector.” It is a mainnet-trader-safety product. It scores a token on rug-pull heuristics: can the owner mint? can the owner pause? is there an allowlist? are there transfer hooks/fees?
Onchain Bridges’ RWA token (MBT) is a compliance token: owner-gated mint, pause, and an allowlist are the entire point (the Chainlink ACE compliance stack). A rug-pull detector reads every one of those controls as a red flag, so a compliance token will always score poorly on QuickScan. That score measures rug-pull surface, not code security, and is not an appropriate metric for a regulated-asset protocol. The findings below are the code-security view.
1. Scope
This review covers every live network, not just Sepolia. The EVM protocol is a single Solidity
codebase deployed across all EVM chains (Sepolia, Polygon Amoy, Sonic, Soneium Minato, Plume), so
the source-based EVM analysis below applies identically to every EVM deployment - the same source
compiles to the same bytecode on each chain. Per-chain on-chain verification status (which explorer
shows verified source for each address) is tracked in
../CONTRACT-VERIFICATION-AUDIT-LEDGER.md. Solana is a
separate Rust/Anchor codebase and is reviewed in section 7.
The EVM analysis below was run against the canonical contracts (the 15 verified on Sepolia plus the per-chain equivalents).
Onchain Bridges custom code reviewed here: RWATokenCCT (MBT), CrossChainBridge, YieldIssuer, YieldToken, YTMarket, LendingVault, TLPTFaucet, ERC20MintExtractor.
Third-party audited code (in scope as deployed, but authored + audited by Chainlink), not re-audited here: BurnMintERC677 (TLPT), BurnMintTokenPool (CCIP), PolicyEngine / AllowPolicy / PausePolicy (Chainlink ACE), ERC1967Proxy (OpenZeppelin). A large majority of the deployed bytecode is audited Chainlink / OpenZeppelin library code.
Excluded: the TLPTPaymaster (v1/v2) contracts - AA Phase 2 is feature-flagged off and not live in the public dApp, so they are not part of the live surface this review certifies.
2. Result summary
| Severity | In live in-scope contracts | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | 0 | |
| High | 0 real | 4 detector “High” items, all triaged to false-positive or out-of-scope (s.3) |
| Medium | 0 | |
| Low / Informational | code-quality + by-design only | centralization (compliance controls), style, gas (s.4) |
All three EVM analyzers agree there are no security vulnerabilities:
forge lint: 19 items, all in two low/informational classes (block.timestampcomparisons and guardedunsafe-typecast), each confirmed benign (s.4).aderyn(63 detectors): 0 real High after triage (s.3), Low/Informational only (s.4).solhint(recommended ruleset): 0 errors; the warnings are documentation (missing NatSpec, ~80%), gas optimizations, and naming/import style - no security findings.
3. Triage of Aderyn “High” findings (4)
None are exploitable vulnerabilities in the live contracts.
| ID | Title | Where | Disposition |
|---|---|---|---|
| H-1 | Arbitrary from in transferFrom |
TLPTPaymaster, TLPTPaymasterV2 | Out of scope (paymaster, flag-off). Also the intended ERC-4337 pattern: the paymaster pulls the user’s TLPT after validatePaymasterUserOp authorizes the userOp. |
| H-2 | Contract name reused across files | TLPTPaymaster(V2), TLPTFaucet, TLPTSale | Not a vulnerability. A code-organization detector (same interface/contract name appears in multiple files). No security impact. |
| H-3 | Uninitialized state variables | YieldIssuer currentPeriodId, LendingVault nextPositionId, YTMarket nextListingId, LockVault lockNonce |
False positive. All four are auto-incrementing counters / nonces that are designed to start at 0. Zero is the correct initial value. |
| H-4 | Locks Ether without withdraw | TLPTPaymaster, TLPTPaymasterV2 | Out of scope (paymaster). A 4337 paymaster intentionally holds an ETH gas deposit in the EntryPoint; withdrawal is via the EntryPoint, not the contract. |
4. Low / informational findings
These are standard static-analysis quality, gas, and style notes. None is a vulnerability.
- L-1 Centralization risk (trusted owner) - by design. Owner-gated mint, pause, and allowlist are the compliance mechanism (Chainlink ACE). Documented and intentional for a regulated-asset protocol. This is the same control set a rug-pull scanner mis-reads as risk.
- L-2 Unsafe ERC20 ops - our tokens are known/trusted (MBT, TLPT, the test USDC); reverting ERC20s. SafeERC20 is a hardening recommendation, not an active bug. Candidate for a follow-up.
- L-3..L-13 - wide pragma,
address(0)checks on setters,public->external, magic numbers -> constants,indexedevent fields,nonReentrantmodifier ordering, PUSH0 portability, single-use modifiers, scientific notation, an unused custom error, a redundant statement. All informational / gas / style. Tracked as a code-quality backlog; none gates the testnet surface. forge lint:block.timestampcomparisons (faucet cooldown, feed staleness, yield-period and interest timing - second-level manipulation is immaterial to all of these) andunsafe-typecast(e.g. RWATokenCCTuint256(reserves)is guarded by areserves <= 0check; CrossChainBridgeuint8(48 + value%10)is digit-to-ASCII, always in range). All benign.
5. Per-contract posture (live Sepolia)
| Contract | Critical/High/Med | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MBT (RWATokenCCT) | 0 | 2 benign lint items (guarded cast, feed staleness) |
| CrossChainBridge | 0 | 1 benign lint item (ASCII conversion) |
| YieldIssuer | 0 | H-3 = intentional counter |
| YieldToken (YT-MBT) | 0 | lint-clean |
| YTMarket | 0 | H-3 = intentional counter |
| LendingVault (Meridian) | 0 | H-3 = intentional counter |
| TLPTFaucet | 0 | cooldown timestamps (benign) |
| TLPT (BurnMintERC677) | n/a | Chainlink-audited library code |
| ACE PolicyEngine/AllowPolicy/PausePolicy | n/a | Chainlink-audited library code |
| BurnMintTokenPool | n/a | Chainlink-audited library code |
6. Solana programs (Rust / Anchor)
The Solana side is a separate Rust/Anchor codebase: three programs under solana/programs/ -
mbt-defi (820 LoC), mbt-bridge-delivery (650 LoC), mbt-allowlist-hook (331 LoC) - implementing
the DeFi logic, the cross-chain delivery receiver, and the Token-2022 transfer-hook compliance gate.
Program IDs are in webapp/src/config/solana.ts; source is public in the repo.
Method: cargo audit (RustSec advisory database) on the locked dependency tree + a structural
review of access control. (There is no free Slither-equivalent for Solana; cargo-audit + Anchor’s
account-constraint model + manual review are the free-tool baseline.)
Findings:
- Dependency advisories (cargo audit): the flagged advisories (
atty,borsh 0.9.3,rand 0.7.3, etc.) are all in transitive crates pulled in by the Solana/Anchor toolchain, not in our program code. They are the standard advisory set every Solana program inherits (host/build-time crates and niche serialization edge cases), not exploitable in the on-chain program context. Raw output:solana-cargo-audit-2026-06-17.txt. - Access control: strong. The programs use Anchor account constraints throughout - 33 / 51 / 19
has_one/authority checks in mbt-defi / bridge-delivery / allowlist-hook respectively, withSignerconstraints on privileged instructions. This is the idiomatic, audited Anchor pattern. - Arithmetic:
overflow-checks = trueis set in the release profile, so any arithmetic overflow reverts the transaction (mitigating the sparse explicitchecked_*usage). - Note: full verifiable-build verification (matching on-chain bytecode to source via
solana-verify) is a separate, heavier step not performed here; the program IDs and source are public for inspection.
No exploitable findings were identified in our Solana program code by this review. A professional manual audit is still recommended before mainnet, same as the EVM side.
7. Stellar programs (Rust / Soroban)
A separate Rust/Soroban codebase: six contracts (soroban/<crate>/, commit 7d46c531) - sMBT
(SEP-41 compliance token), sUSDC (demo stablecoin), LendingVault (Polaris), YieldIssuer, YT, YTMarket.
36/36 native tests green. Reviewed by the Stellar session per the uniform non-EVM standard set here
and recorded by session 5.
Verification: Soroban has no explorer “verified source” tab. Each contract’s source builds
deterministically (stellar contract build && stellar contract optimize, stellar-cli 26.1.0, target
wasm32v1-none) to a WASM whose sha256 matches the on-chain code hash; each was confirmed via
stellar contract fetch + sha256. Hashes are in the ledger.
Method: cargo audit + cargo clippy --target wasm32v1-none + per-contract access-control review.
Findings (overall 0 Critical / 0 High / 0 Medium):
- cargo audit: 0 vulnerabilities. Two “unmaintained” advisories (
derivative,paste) are transitive viasoroban-sdk, not our code - informational. - cargo clippy: 0 errors; cosmetic only (a
manual_saturating_arithmeticsuggestion on a functionally-identicalchecked_sub().unwrap_or(0), and one doc-indent). - Access control: sMBT separates admin / compliance_admin / relayer roles;
bridge_mintis relayer-auth + not-paused + lock-nonce replay-guarded + allowlist-checked; all SEP-41 paths require_auth + check allowlist on both sides. LendingVault: admin-only price/LTV, borrower-auth’d borrow/repay with LTV + liquidity guards, no admin drain path. YieldIssuer: issuer-only period lifecycle, holder-auth’d claims with double-claim guards, sole YT minter. YT: mint gated to the YieldIssuer + allowlist; every value path transitively gated on sMBT’s KYC/pause state. YTMarket: permissionless over the gated token, compliance preserved transitively (a non-KYC buyer reverts on the YT-to-buyer leg). sUSDC is an intentionally-ungated demo asset. - Disclosed trust assumptions (not findings): admin/relayer/issuer keys are trusted testnet-ops
keys; LendingVault is demo-grade (fixed 1:1 price, no oracle/liquidation) and would need an oracle
- liquidation for mainnet.
No exploitable findings in our Soroban contract code. The EVM-side bridge helper deployed for the
Stellar lane (label “StellarLockVault”, address on Amoy) is src/bridge/LockVault.sol, already
covered by the EVM analysis in sections 2-5.
8. Conclusion
Across the live EVM protocol contracts, three independent open-source analyzers (forge lint, Aderyn with 63 detectors, and solhint) agree there are no exploitable Critical, High, or Medium findings. Every “High” the tools raised is a false positive (intentional zero-initialized counters), a non-security code-org note, or an out-of-scope paymaster item. Remaining items are by-design compliance centralization plus a standard code-quality / gas backlog. The compliance-heavy machinery (token, pools, ACE policies) is audited Chainlink / OpenZeppelin code.
A full manual audit by a professional firm is still required before mainnet; this review covers the testnet surface for grant due-diligence.
