pda-security

pda-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PlamenTSV/plamen. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,245 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review guide for Solana program-derived addresses (PDAs), which are accounts created from predictable seeds. It checks how seeds and bump values are used.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inventory PDA seeds, verify canonical bumps, and analyze whether different seed schemes can overlap.
Why use it?
It helps prevent multiple valid addresses, seed collisions, and attacker-controlled account selection caused by unsafe PDA derivation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pda-security scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

PDA_SECURITY Skill

Trigger Pattern: PDA flag detected (seeds/bump/find_program_address usage) Inject Into: Breadth agents, depth agents Finding prefix: [PDA-N] Rules referenced: S2, S1

For every PDA in the Solana program:

1. PDA Seed Inventory

List all PDA seed declarations:

# PDA Name Seeds Purpose Anchor Constraint Location
1 {name} [b"prefix", user.key().as_ref(), &[bump]] {what it stores} seeds = [...], bump {file:line}

2. Canonical Bump Enforcement

For each PDA:

PDA Bump Source Canonical? Risk if Non-Canonical
{name} Anchor auto (bump) / find_program_address / USER INPUT YES/NO {if NO: multiple valid addresses}

Attack (S2): If bump is user-supplied, attacker can use a non-canonical bump to derive a DIFFERENT address that still passes create_program_address. This creates a separate PDA from the intended one. Defense: Always use find_program_address (returns canonical bump) or Anchor's bump constraint.

3. Seed Collision Analysis

For each PAIR of PDA seed schemas:

PDA A Seeds PDA B Seeds Can Byte Sequences Overlap? Collision Risk?
[b"vault", mint.as_ref()] [b"vaultm", ...] CHECK: "vault" + mint_bytes could equal "vaultm" + other_bytes? YES/NO

Attack: Two different PDA types with seeds that can produce identical byte sequences → one PDA masquerades as another. Defense: Use unique fixed-length prefixes (e.g., b"vault\x00") or ensure seed structures cannot collide.

4. Seed Uniqueness

For each PDA type, verify seeds include sufficient uniqueness:

PDA Unique Per Seeds Include User/Entity Key? Could Two Users Share PDA?
{name} User / Mint / Pool / Global YES/NO {if YES: shared state corruption}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

pda-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository PlamenTSV/plamen (295 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,245 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
