Why Wallet Extension Security Matters
With millions of users relying on wallet extensions, a single security flaw could compromise billions in crypto assets. Comprehensive testing is essential.
Asset Protection
Wallet extensions are the gateway to Web3. Security vulnerabilities can lead to total loss of user funds and complete compromise of blockchain accounts.
Attack Surface
Browser extensions operate in a privileged context, making them attractive targets for attackers seeking to intercept transactions or steal private keys.
User Trust
Users trust wallet extensions with their most valuable digital assets. Security breaches destroy reputation and cause irreversible financial loss.
Full-Stack Testing Methodology
Our structured approach covers every layer of wallet extension architecture to ensure complete security assessment.
Manifest & Architecture Analysis
Review manifest.json configuration, CSP policies, permissions, host permissions, and overall architecture design for security misconfigurations.
Key Management Testing
Analyze encryption mechanisms, key derivation, storage security, and decryption processes. Verify private keys never persist in memory longer than necessary.
Transaction & Message Flow
Test transaction signing, message passing between components, content script injection, and DApp provider integration for tampering vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Discovery & Exploitation
Identify security flaws including XSS, CSRF, insecure storage, key exposure, and injection vulnerabilities. Safely validate exploitability.
DApp Integration Security
Verify provider API implementation, request validation, account exposure controls, and transaction confirmation mechanisms.
Dependency & Supply Chain
Analyze third-party dependencies for known vulnerabilities, malicious packages, and supply chain attack risks.
Build & Distribution Testing
Validate build process integrity, code obfuscation, release signing, and extension store submission security.
Remediation & Reporting
Provide detailed findings with proof of concept, impact analysis, and actionable remediation guidance specific to wallet security.
Critical Vulnerability Areas
We conduct comprehensive testing across all critical areas of wallet extension security.
Private Key Exposure
Vulnerabilities allowing unauthorized access to encrypted or unencrypted private keys stored in memory or persistent storage.
Transaction Interception
Attacks that modify transaction data before signing, allowing attackers to redirect funds or steal assets.
Message Tampering
Insecure message passing between content scripts, background scripts, and UI allowing modification of sensitive data.
Malicious DApp Injection
Vulnerabilities allowing malicious DApps to steal user accounts, request unauthorized transactions, or compromise the wallet.
XSS & Code Injection
Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities allowing execution of arbitrary JavaScript within the wallet extension context.
Storage Vulnerabilities
Insecure use of localStorage, IndexedDB, or chrome.storage APIs allowing unauthorized access to sensitive data.
CSP Bypass
Content Security Policy misconfigurations or bypass techniques allowing injection of unauthorized scripts.
Encryption Weaknesses
Weak encryption algorithms, poor key derivation, predictable nonces, or insecure random number generation.
Session Hijacking
Attacks stealing or predicting session tokens allowing unauthorized transaction signing without user interaction.
Manifest Misconfigurations
Overly permissive manifest permissions enabling unnecessary access to sensitive browser APIs.
Dependency Vulnerabilities
Known vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and dependencies used by the wallet extension.
Update & Distribution
Vulnerabilities in update mechanisms allowing installation of malicious wallet versions.
