vyper — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 40

This page documents Common Weakness Enumerations associated with the Vyper smart contract language. It aggregates security issues specifically affecting contracts written in Vyper, distinguishing them from those in other Solidity-based languages. The collection includes vulnerabilities identified through independent security audits, bug bounty program disclosures, and post-deployment exploit analysis. The time range covered spans from the initial release of Vyper 0.1.0 in late 2018 through to recent patches issued in 2024, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the language’s historical security landscape. Here, you can discover detailed insights into how specific coding patterns in Vyper have led to critical security flaws over time. By reviewing this aggregation, you can track a vendor’s or core team’s advisories regarding language-level vulnerabilities and understand the evolving nature of weakness classes within the Ethereum Virtual Machine ecosystem. Researchers and developers can look up a product’s vulnerability history to identify recurring issues such as improper input validation, reentrancy risks specific to Vyper’s execution model, or compiler bugs that miscompile certain code structures. This resource serves as a centralized reference for understanding the security posture of Vyper-based applications, enabling better risk assessment and more robust code review practices. It does not endorse any specific project but rather provides a factual record of reported weaknesses to aid in the development of safer decentralized finance and non-fungible token infrastructure.
