signature-vulnerabilitiesSignature attack vectors and safe verification patterns for Solidity.
Signature Vulnerabilities is an agent skill from ccashwell/evm-cortex. Signature attack vectors and safe verification patterns for Solidity. Use when implementing permit, meta-transactions, gasless approvals, or any signature-based authentication. Covers replay attacks, EIP-712, nonce management, malleability, and permit front-running.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Smart contracts. It works with Solidity. The repository describes itself as: Ethereum protocol engineering squad for AI coding assistants. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f8f3301. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are solidity).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Signature Vulnerabilities loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/signature-vulnerabilities/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).A valid signature can be reused unless explicitly prevented.
A signature valid on Ethereum mainnet can be replayed on Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.
// VULNERABLE: no chain ID in signed data
bytes32 hash = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(user, amount, nonce));
// FIXED: include chain ID via EIP-712 domain separator
bytes32 public immutable DOMAIN_SEPARATOR;
constructor() {
DOMAIN_SEPARATOR = keccak256(abi.encode(
keccak256("EIP712Domain(string name,string version,uint256 chainId,address verifyingContract)"),
keccak256(bytes("MyProtocol")),
keccak256(bytes("1")),
block.chainid,
address(this)
));
}A signature for contract A can be replayed on contract B if the verifying contract address isn't included.
Defense: Always include address(this) in the domain separator (EIP-712 handles this).
Reusing a signature multiple times on the same contract.
Defense: Nonce tracking.
mapping(address => uint256) public nonces;
function executeWithSignature(
address user,
uint256 amount,
uint256 deadline,
uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s
) external {
if (block.timestamp > deadline) revert Expired();
bytes32 structHash = keccak256(abi.encode(
EXECUTE_TYPEHASH,
user,
amount,
nonces[user]++,
deadline
));
bytes32 digest = keccak256(abi.encodePacked("\x19\x01", DOMAIN_SEPARATOR, structHash));
address recovered = ecrecover(digest, v, r, s);
if (recovered == address(0) || recovered != user) revert InvalidSignature();
_execute(user, amount);
}The standard for structured data signing. Provides human-readable signing prompts in wallets.
bytes32 public constant EXECUTE_TYPEHASH = keccak256(
"Execute(address user,uint256 amount,uint256 nonce,uint256 deadline)"
);
function _hashTypedData(bytes32 structHash) internal view returns (bytes32) {
return keccak256(abi.encodePacked("\x19\x01", DOMAIN_SEPARATOR, structHash));
}// For complex types, hash inner structs first
bytes32 constant ORDER_TYPEHASH = keccak256(
"Order(address maker,Asset makerAsset,Asset takerAsset,uint256 nonce,uint256 deadline)"
"Asset(address token,uint256 amount)"
);
bytes32 constant ASSET_TYPEHASH = keccak256(
"Asset(address token,uint256 amount)"
);
function hashOrder(Order memory order) internal pure returns (bytes32) {
return keccak256(abi.encode(
ORDER_TYPEHASH,
order.maker,
hashAsset(order.makerAsset),
hashAsset(order.takerAsset),
order.nonce,
order.deadline
));
}
function hashAsset(Asset memory asset) internal pure returns (bytes32) {
return keccak256(abi.encode(ASSET_TYPEHASH, asset.token, asset.amount));
}ECDSA signatures have two valid forms for the same message (s and n-s). If both are accepted, a signature can be "replayed" with the alternate form.
// VULNERABLE: accepts both s values
address recovered = ecrecover(hash, v, r, s);
// FIXED: enforce low-s value (EIP-2 canonical form)
function _verifySignature(bytes32 hash, uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s)
internal
pure
returns (address)
{
// s must be in the lower half of the curve order
if (uint256(s) > 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF5D576E7357A4501DDFE92F46681B20A0) {
revert MalleableSignature();
}
address recovered = ecrecover(hash, v, r, s);
if (recovered == address(0)) revert InvalidSignature();
return recovered;
}Best practice: Use OpenZeppelin's ECDSA library which handles malleability checks.
import {ECDSA} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/utils/cryptography/ECDSA.sol";
import {MessageHashUtils} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/utils/cryptography/MessageHashUtils.sol";
function verify(bytes32 hash, bytes memory signature) internal pure returns (address) {
return ECDSA.recover(hash, signature); // handles malleability check
}ecrecover returns address(0) for invalid signatures instead of reverting. Always check.
// VULNERABLE: doesn't check for address(0)
address signer = ecrecover(hash, v, r, s);
require(signer == expectedSigner); // passes if expectedSigner is address(0)
// FIXED: explicit zero check
address signer = ecrecover(hash, v, r, s);
if (signer == address(0)) revert InvalidSignature();
if (signer != expectedSigner) revert Unauthorized();An attacker can front-run a permit + action transaction by extracting the permit signature and calling permit first. The user's transaction reverts because the nonce is consumed.
// VULNERABLE: permit reverts if already used
function depositWithPermit(
uint256 amount, uint256 deadline,
uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s
) external {
token.permit(msg.sender, address(this), amount, deadline, v, r, s); // ← reverts if front-run
token.safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), amount);
}
// FIXED: try/catch on permit, proceed if allowance already set
function depositWithPermit(
uint256 amount, uint256 deadline,
uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s
) external {
try token.permit(msg.sender, address(this), amount, deadline, v, r, s) {} catch {}
token.safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), amount);
}Simple, prevents replay, but requires sequential use.
mapping(address => uint256) public nonces;
// User must use nonce 0, then 1, then 2, etc.
// Cancel a nonce by calling with a no-op payloadAllows out-of-order nonce consumption.
// Nonces stored as bitmaps: nonce 256*wordPos + bitPos
mapping(address => mapping(uint256 => uint256)) public nonceBitmap;
function _useNonce(address owner, uint256 nonce) internal {
uint256 wordPos = nonce >> 8;
uint256 bitPos = nonce & 0xff;
uint256 bit = 1 << bitPos;
uint256 word = nonceBitmap[owner][wordPos];
if (word & bit != 0) revert NonceAlreadyUsed();
nonceBitmap[owner][wordPos] = word | bit;

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ccashwell/evm-cortex --skill signature-vulnerabilities -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/signature-vulnerabilities, .gemini/skills/signature-vulnerabilities, .github/skills/signature-vulnerabilities and .opencode/skills/signature-vulnerabilities in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Signature Vulnerabilities is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Signature Vulnerabilities is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
