Auditing in the age of (good enough) AI
TL;DR
Custom tools like an LSP server and static analysis engine were developed to enhance the security review of the Miden VM, uncovering critical vulnerabilities and producing 95 correctness proofs.
✦ Why It Matters
Invest in developing custom tooling for your projects to enhance security reviews and uncover hidden vulnerabilities.
Key Takeaways
- Build custom tools to support code reviews.
- Utilize formal methods like Lean for verification.
- Implement static analysis to catch vulnerabilities.
- Focus on improving developer tooling for new languages.
How It Works
The team developed an LSP server for syntax highlighting and navigation, a decompiler for high-level understanding, and a static analysis engine to identify bugs. The decompiler's intermediate representation allowed for advanced data flow analysis, while abstract interpretation tracked potential value types throughout the code.
