@Asheeyah23 has applied to work on this issue as part of the Stellar Wave Program's 6th wave.

This issue addresses a major milestone for the smart contract development lifecycle by introducing static analysis and security auditing rules directly into StarForge. Building a robust contract security best practices analyzer involves checking for known vulnerabilities, establishing a clear security scorecard, and offering actionable remediation code snippets.

Recommended Application Text:
"I’d like to request assignment for this issue. Integrating an automated security best practices analyzer directly into the pipeline is essential for helping developers identify critical vulnerabilities (like authorization drops or unhandled state transitions) before contracts hit mainnet.

My implementation plan includes:

Security Rule Engine: Implementing an extensible static analysis engine capable of scanning Soroban/Rust contracts for common pitfalls (e.g., missing require_auth guards, unsafe arithmetic bounds, or suboptimal TTL storage renewals).

Best Practices Library: Creating a modular rule catalog mapping explicit industry standards and security heuristics to distinct, identifiable error keys.

Algorithmic Security Scoring: Developing a predictable scoring algorithm that translates multi-factor vulnerability risks (Critical, High, Medium, Low) into a uniform 0–100 baseline score.

Recommendation & Remediation Engine: Generating actionable recommendations complete with compliant, safe code snippets so developers can track and patch their vulnerabilities easily.

Comprehensive Security Reports: Creating a clear output reporting structure (supporting clean CLI text outputs and structural JSON payloads for external dashboards) mapping out absolute file positions and line numbers for all flagged issues.

I have experience building static analysis tools, designing security rule engines, and writing secure Soroban smart contracts. Please assign this to me!
