Oracle Integration Auditor

When to Use

  • Auditing oracle integrations, price feeds, Chainlink usage
  • User mentions: oracle, Chainlink, price feed, TWAP, stale price, heartbeat, sequencer, depeg, circuit breaker
  • Analyzing price validation, oracle failure handling, feed configuration
  • Reviewing Uniswap TWAP, Chainlink feeds, custom oracles

Audit Workflow

IMPORTANT: Announce skill usage at the start of analysis

Begin with: "I'm using the audit-oracle skill to analyze this contract for oracle integration vulnerabilities..."

  1. Scan for oracle operations

    • Search: latestRoundData, getPrice, oracle, chainlink, feed, slot0, TWAP, observe, heartbeat, sequencer
    • Focus: price fetching, staleness checks, error handling, feed addresses

  2. Check against vulnerability patterns

    • Reference reference.md for complete checklist
    • Compare code against example.md

  3. Validate exploitability

    • Check access control first - grep for onlyOwner|onlyAdmin|onlyGovernance modifiers
    • Can non-privileged actors exploit oracle issues?
    • Are stale prices checked with correct heartbeats?
    • Is L2 sequencer uptime verified on L2 deployments?
    • Can oracle failures cause DoS?
    • Are depeg scenarios handled?
    • Can slot0 be manipulated?
    • Verify no compensating protections exist
    • Downgrade severity if admin-only unless affects user pricing directly

  4. Generate report

    • Use deliverable template below
    • Include price manipulation analysis and PoC
    • Rank by severity

Core Vulnerability Patterns

See reference.md for full checklist. Key patterns:

  1. Not checking stale prices → using outdated values during high volatility
  2. Missing L2 sequencer check → prices during sequencer downtime
  3. Same heartbeat for multiple feeds → wrong staleness thresholds
  4. Assuming oracle precision → decimal mismatches causing errors
  5. Incorrect price feed address → wrong asset pricing
  6. Unhandled oracle reverts → complete DoS without fallback
  7. Unhandled depeg events → using BTC/USD for compromised WBTC
  8. Oracle min/max price issues → flash crashes return incorrect bounds
  9. Using slot0 price → manipulable via flash loans
  10. Price feed direction confusion → inverted pricing (DAI/USD vs USD/DAI)
  11. Missing circuit breaker checks → not checking minAnswer/maxAnswer

Code examples: See example.md

Severity Criteria

Critical: Using slot0 without TWAP enabling flash loan price manipulation, no staleness checks allowing stale price exploitation during high volatility, MUST be exploitable by non-privileged actors High: Missing L2 sequencer checks on L2, unhandled oracle reverts causing DoS, depeg scenarios not handled, price direction confusion, MUST be exploitable by non-privileged actors Medium: Incorrect heartbeat intervals, missing circuit breaker checks, assuming oracle decimals, incorrect feed addresses, admin-only oracle configuration issues with cascading user impact Low: Suboptimal staleness thresholds, missing secondary oracle for redundancy, admin-only parameter issues without immediate user impact

IMPORTANT: Admin-only oracle functions (onlyOwner, onlyAdmin, onlyGovernance) are MEDIUM or LOW severity unless:

  • Invalid oracle configuration directly prices user assets incorrectly
  • Missing validation enables admin to rug pull via price manipulation
  • Error cascades to affect all users immediately (e.g., stale prices in critical functions)

False Positives - Do NOT Flag

  • L1-only deployments (no sequencer concerns)
  • Protocols with documented manual price updates
  • Test environments with mock oracles
  • View functions for display only (not used in logic)
  • Oracles with explicit admin override mechanisms
  • Admin-only oracle setter functions (onlyOwner, onlyAdmin) with minor validation issues
  • Oracle feed updates by governance without immediate user pricing impact
  • Parameter setters where admin is trusted and users can exit before changes take effect

Deliverable Format

MANDATORY: Before deliverable, verify each checklist.md item against codebase. Flag violations as findings.

Use template: templates/report-template.md

Each finding includes: severity, pattern #, file/lines, description, vulnerable code, price manipulation analysis, PoC, remediation.

Key Principles

  • Staleness validation - check updatedAt against heartbeat for each feed
  • Failure handling - wrap oracle calls in try/catch
  • L2 awareness - check sequencer uptime on L2 chains
  • Depeg monitoring - separate feeds for wrapped assets
  • Manipulation resistance - use TWAP, not spot prices
  • Circuit breakers - validate prices within bounds

Output Guidelines

DO:

  • Reference specific lines and functions
  • Provide price manipulation scenarios
  • Show PoCs with flash loan attacks or stale price exploitation
  • List correct heartbeat intervals per feed
  • Calculate impact of decimal mismatches

DON'T:

  • Report missing features with alternative price sources
  • Flag test/mock oracles in development
  • Ignore chain-specific requirements (L2 sequencer)
  • Miss multi-hop price calculations
