Trigger Pattern: TOKEN_2022 flag detected (token_2022/spl_token_2022/transfer_checked usage) Inject Into: Breadth agents, depth agents Finding prefix:
[T22-N]Rules referenced: S9, R3, R11
For every token mint the program interacts with that may use Token-2022:
1. Extension Inventory
For each mint:
| Mint | Token Program | Extensions Detected | Extension Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| {mint} | token / token-2022 | {list: TransferFee, TransferHook, PermanentDelegate, MintCloseAuthority, DefaultAccountState, etc.} | {brief per-extension impact} |
Detection: Check if program uses spl_token_2022 or token_2022 imports. Check mint account data length (Token-2022 mints are larger due to extension data).
2. Extension Allowlist
Does the program explicitly check which extensions are supported?
| Check | Present? | Location | Missing Extensions Handled? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extension allowlist / blocklist | YES/NO | {line} | {what happens with unsupported extension} |
Attack (S9): Program designed for basic SPL Token interacts with Token-2022 mint that has unexpected extensions (e.g., PermanentDelegate). Program doesn't check → extension silently affects behavior. Defense: Explicitly check mint extensions and reject unsupported ones.
3. Permanent Delegate Risk
For each mint with PermanentDelegate extension:
| Mint | Permanent Delegate | Trust Level | Vault Drain Scenario | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| {mint} | {delegate pubkey} | {trusted/untrusted/unknown} | {can delegate drain vault?} | {what prevents it} |
Attack: Permanent delegate can transfer tokens FROM any token account of that mint, without the account owner's approval. If protocol holds tokens of a PermanentDelegate mint → delegate can drain them at any time.
4. Transfer Hook Analysis
For each mint with TransferHook extension:
| Mint | Hook Program | Hook Verified? | CU Budget Impact | Recursion Risk? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| {mint} | {program_id} | YES/NO | {estimated CU} | YES/NO |
Risks:
- Hook program can consume significant CU, causing transactions to fail
- Hook program can revert, blocking all transfers of this token
- Hook program may have its own CPI chain, adding depth
- Hook may read additional accounts not provided by the caller
5. Transfer Fee Accounting
For each mint with TransferFeeConfig:
| Mint | Fee Rate | Fee Accounted in Protocol Math? | Amount Received < Amount Sent? |
|---|---|---|---|
| {mint} | {bps} | YES/NO | {if NO: accounting mismatch} |
Attack: Protocol calculates expected amounts without deducting transfer fee → accounting mismatch, potential insolvency.
Pattern: transfer_checked returns the gross amount. The net amount received is gross - fee. Protocol must use net amount in accounting.
6. CPI Guard Handling
For transfers through delegation (CPI transfers):
| Transfer Type | Uses CPI? | CPI Guard Enabled on Mint? | Transfer Works? |
|---|---|---|---|
| {type} | YES/NO | YES/NO/Unknown | {if CPI Guard + delegation: may fail} |
CPI Guard: When enabled, prevents token account delegates from transferring via CPI. Programs that rely on delegated transfers via CPI will fail silently.
7. Default Account State
For mints with DefaultAccountState extension:
| Mint | Default State | Protocol Handles Frozen? | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| {mint} | Frozen / Initialized | YES/NO | {if frozen: new token accounts start frozen, need thaw} |
8. Mint Existence Verification (MintCloseAuthority)
For mints with MintCloseAuthority extension:
| Mint | Close Authority | Checked Before Read? | Impact if Mint Closed |
|---|---|---|---|
| {mint} | {authority} | YES/NO | {if NO: reading zeroed data, incorrect decimals/supply} |
Attack: Mint with MintCloseAuthority can be closed (if supply == 0). Protocol reads closed mint → gets zeroed data → decimals = 0, incorrect calculations.
