auditing-cross-chain-bridge-and-message-trust

auditing-cross-chain-bridge-and-message-trust is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 193 tokens per session (2,270 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security audit for blockchain bridges and messaging systems that move information or value between blockchains. It checks whether the destination chain truly verifies source-chain events before minting tokens, releasing funds, or performing an action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review source-event proofs, signer or validator approval, replay protection, chain binding, and the accounting behind cross-chain transfers.
Why use it?
It helps find flaws where forged, replayed, or weakly approved messages could create assets or release funds incorrectly. It also checks that lock-and-mint or burn-and-release accounting remains balanced.

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

auditing-cross-chain-bridge-and-message-trust 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 1mo 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.

Auditing cross-chain bridge and message trust: the destination must prove the source event, not assume it

A cross-chain bridge does one hard thing: it makes an action on the destination chain, minting a wrapped token, releasing locked funds, running a message, conditional on an event that happened on the source chain. The destination cannot see the source directly, so it trusts a proof or an attestation that the event occurred, and every bridge hack is a failure of that trust. If the destination accepts a mint or release on a forged proof, an unverified claim, or an attestation from a signer set an attacker can spoof or that is too small to be safe, the attacker manufactures value from nothing. If a valid message can be replayed, on the destination twice, or on another chain, one legitimate event authorizes many withdrawals. And the lock-and-mint or burn-and-release accounting that is supposed to keep supply balanced can be pushed out of balance by a message that mints without a matching lock or releases without a matching burn. The audit follows a message from source event to destination action and checks that the destination genuinely verifies the event, binds the message so it executes once, and keeps the accounting balanced. You audit this by crafting messages the destination should reject and seeing whether it mints or releases.

When to use

  • A bridge or messaging layer authorizes a destination-chain action (mint, release, call) on the strength of a claimed source-chain event.
  • The proof or attestation may be forgeable, or the signer set or validator quorum may be spoofable or too small.
  • A cross-chain message may be replayable on the destination or across chains, or the lock/mint accounting may be pushable out of balance.

Scope check

Test bridge and message trust only against protocols and infrastructure you own or are authorized to assess, on testnets or a local fork. Forging messages and triggering mints or releases moves real value, so use test deployments and never mint, release, or unbalance a live bridge or touch funds that are not yours. If you can't name the authorization, stop.
