Initialization Vulnerability Scanner

An automated security scanner that specifically targets critical initialization flaws in smart contracts, including uninitialized storage variables, constructor vulnerabilities, and proxy initialization hijacking risks.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.

We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Every contract undergoes a multi-stage audit process, including automated analysis and manual review, before deployment to mainnet.

  • Custom Logic: Tailored ERC-20, ERC-721, and bespoke token standards.
  • Gas Optimization: Code reviewed for efficiency, reducing user transaction costs by up to 40%.
  • Security First: Built with OpenZeppelin libraries and battle-tested patterns.
  • Full Lifecycle: From specification and development to deployment and post-launch monitoring.

Deliver a fully audited, production-ready contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks, accelerating your time-to-market while mitigating critical security risks.

COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE

What Our Scanner Detects

Our automated scanner performs deep bytecode analysis to identify critical vulnerabilities in smart contract initialization logic that manual reviews often miss.

04

Missing Initial Ownership

Scans for contracts where critical administrative functions (e.g., onlyOwner) are accessible before an owner is assigned, leaving the contract uncontrollable.

05

Inheritance Order Vulnerabilities

Analyzes the linearization of multiple inherited contracts to detect shadowed functions and incorrect super() calls that break initialization sequences.

06

Front-Runnable Initializations

Identifies initialization functions that lack access controls or are vulnerable to MEV bots, preventing malicious actors from hijacking contract setup.

EXPERTISE YOU CAN TRUST

Why Choose Our Specialized Scanner

Our Initialization Vulnerability Scanner is engineered for production-grade security, delivering actionable insights that prevent exploits before deployment.

01

Deep Protocol Expertise

Built by engineers who have audited over $2B+ in DeFi TVL. We understand the nuanced attack vectors in constructor and initialization logic specific to upgradeable patterns (UUPS/Transparent) and proxies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on how our automated smart contract security scanner works, its integration, and the value it delivers.

Our scanner performs a comprehensive static analysis targeting initialization-related risks in upgradeable smart contracts. It specifically detects:

  • Missing or unprotected initialization functions that could allow re-initialization attacks.
  • Storage layout conflicts between implementation versions that can corrupt data.
  • Constructor vs. initializer misuse in proxy patterns (e.g., UUPS, Transparent).
  • Unsafe delegatecall usage within initialization that could lead to self-destruct or storage hijacking.
  • Compliance with best practices from OpenZeppelin's Upgrades Plugins. It integrates checks for over 20 specific vulnerability patterns related to contract setup and upgrades.
