Pre-ERC: Agent Pre-Sign Risk ReportPre-ERC: Agent Pre-Sign Risk Report is a draft Ethereum Magicians proposal for an EIP-712-signed report that a risk source, identified by an ERC-8004 identity, returns about one unsigned request. It carries typed findings on tokens, approvals, addresses, payments (x402) and texts, and each finding is marked read or not read. It has no score or verdict, so the consumer applies its own policy. The author's live implementation, toll, runs on Robinhood Chain.

SymLift: Neural Semantic Lifting for Compile-Free Vulnerability Detection in Context-Incomplete Code FragmentsSymLift is a compile-free vulnerability detection framework for code fragments that lack project context. A fine-tuned LLM reconstructs control-flow, data-flow, memory and resource relations as a constrained LLVM-like IR, and a deterministic parser turns it into facts for Datalog rules that give findings with derivation traces. SymLift-Qwen-7B reaches 94.41% Target-F1 on FormAI and 91.66% micro-averaged Target-F1 on MegaVul.

farol is a free, MIT-licensed CLI and GitHub Action that runs after an AI code review and gives the human approver a risk verdict (fast track, quick review, careful review) and a 0-100 score for a pull request. It uses the TypeScript type checker, go/types and Python ast to trace which pages, APIs and jobs a change reaches, and it adds diff coverage, security findings and contract breaks. It never executes or sends code.

Tailworm is a security assessment report by Erica Windisch (Cyberdione Labs) on Tailscale v1.104.2 and headscale v0.29.5, tested 22-24 October 2026. It documents 11 findings: Tailscale SSH unix-socket forwarding that runs as root (bind, dial and TOCTOU races), conn25 app-connector egress bypass, gliderssh memory exhaustion, serve/funnel flaws and headscale DoS. It includes PoC references, mitigations and fix status as of 27 October 2026. The page is truncated, so the later sections were not read.
