According to Odaily Planet Daily, blockchain security company Veridise reported that audits of zero-knowledge (ZK) projects are twice as likely to find critical issues as other audit types. Veridise analyzed 1,605 vulnerabilities found in the past 100 audits, with an average of about 16 issues found per audit, and an average of 18 issues found in ZK audits.
Veridise found that 55% of ZK audits contained critical issues, compared to 27.5% for other audits (including smart contracts, wallet integrations, blockchain implementations, and relayers).
Overall, the most common vulnerabilities found by Veridise audits were logic errors (385), maintainability (355), and data validation (304), accounting for 65% of all issues found in its audits. These three issues also dominated the 360 ZK audit-specific vulnerabilities found.
