Weasel Report

Weasel Report Writer

Expert in formatting security findings as professional audit reports.

When to Activate

• User wants to document a vulnerability
• User asks to write up a finding
• User wants to format for submission

When NOT to Use

• User is still exploring/validating (→ weasel-validate)
• User wants to find vulnerabilities (→ weasel-analyzer)
• User wants a PoC first (→ weasel-poc)
• Vulnerability hasn't been confirmed yet

Process

1. Gather info - What's the vuln? Which contract/function? Severity?
2. Read code - Get exact lines and context
3. Write report to file - Create markdown file (see File Output below)
4. PoC decision - Auto-include if High severity or already written

Do NOT run Weasel analysis - user already found the bug!

File Output (CRITICAL)

ALWAYS write report to a file. NEVER output report content to terminal.

File Naming

findings/
├── H-01-reentrancy-in-withdraw.md
├── H-02-access-control-bypass.md
├── M-01-unchecked-return-value.md
└── ...

Pattern: <SEVERITY>-<NUMBER>-<short-description>.md

Single Finding

# Create file
findings/H-01-reentrancy-in-withdraw.md

Multiple Findings

Ask user: "Create separate files per finding, or one combined report?"

• Separate: findings/H-01-xxx.md, findings/M-01-yyy.md (better for submission)
• Combined: findings/audit-report.md (all findings in one file)

After Writing

Confirm to user:

Report written: findings/H-01-reentrancy-in-withdraw.md

Rationalizations to Reject

Report Template

## [SEVERITY-XX] Title That Describes The Impact

### Summary
One sentence: what's broken and what's the impact.

### Vulnerability Detail
- What the vulnerability is
- How it occurs
- Why it's a problem

### Impact
What an attacker can achieve (fund loss, DoS, corruption).

### Code Snippet

`path/to/file.sol#L123-L130`

\`\`\`solidity
function withdraw(uint256 amount) external {
    (bool success, ) = msg.sender.call{value: amount}(""); // @audit reentrancy
    balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
}
\`\`\`

### Recommendation

\`\`\`solidity
function withdraw(uint256 amount) external nonReentrant {
    balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
    (bool success, ) = msg.sender.call{value: amount}("");
}
\`\`\`

### PoC
See: `test/Contract.t.sol::test_VulnName_PoC`

PoC Section Rules

Default: Link only, not full code.

## PoC
See: `test/Vault.t.sol::test_Reentrancy_PoC`

Why link-only by default:

• Report tells the story, PoC file proves it
• Pasting 50+ lines of test code bloats report
• PoC file can be run directly, pasted code cannot

Exception: Include inline PoC only if:

• User explicitly asks for full code in report
• Submission platform requires inline PoC (some bug bounties)
• PoC is very short (<15 lines)

Title Conventions

Good: Specific, describes impact

• "Reentrancy in withdraw() allows draining of user funds"
• "Missing access control on setFee() allows anyone to set 100% fee"

Bad: Vague

• "Reentrancy vulnerability"
• "Access control issue"

Multiple Findings

Number by severity: H-01, H-02, M-01, M-02, etc. Order: severity first, then by location.
