Smart Contract Top 10, 2026

ALERT
OWASP published Smart Contract Top 10, 2026 – Risks and Vulns

OWASP has released the Smart Contract Top 10: 2026, a guide to help Web3 developers, security auditors, and protocol owners identify critical vulnerabilities in smart contracts.

This edition, part of the OWASP Smart Contract Security initiative, uses security incidents and survey data from 2025 to identify the most impactful risks ahead.

The 2026 ranking shows that attackers are evolving. They are now combining different vulnerabilities, such as linking flash loans with oracle manipulation and exploiting poor upgrade governance, to cause more financial harm.

2026 Ranking

Rank Vulnerability Description
SC01:2026 Access Control Vulnerabilities Flaws that allow unauthorized users or roles to invoke privileged functions or modify critical state, often leading to full protocol compromise.
SC02:2026 Business Logic Vulnerabilities Design-level flaws in lending, AMM, reward, or governance logic that break economic or functional rules, enabling value extraction even when low-level checks appear correct.
SC03:2026 Price Oracle Manipulation Weak oracles and unsafe price integrations that let attackers skew reference prices, enabling under-collateralized borrowing and mispriced swaps.
SC04:2026 Flash Loan–Facilitated Attacks Attacks using large, uncollateralized flash loans to amplify small logic, pricing, or arithmetic bugs into large drains within a single transaction.
SC05:2026 Lack of Input Validation Missing or weak validation of user, admin, or cross-chain inputs that allows unsafe parameters to reach core logic, corrupting state or enabling fund loss.
SC06:2026 Unchecked External Calls Unsafe interactions with external contracts where failures, reverts, or callbacks are not safely handled, often enabling reentrancy or inconsistent state.
SC07:2026 Arithmetic Errors Subtle bugs in integer math, scaling, and rounding — especially in share, interest, and AMM calculations — that can siphon value when paired with flash loans.
SC08:2026 Reentrancy Attacks External calls that re-enter vulnerable functions before state is fully updated, allowing repeated withdrawals or state changes from outdated contract views.
SC09:2026 Integer Overflow and Underflow Dangerous arithmetic on code paths without robust overflow checks, leading to wrapped values, broken invariants, and potential liquidity drains.
SC10:2026 Proxy & Upgradeability Vulnerabilities Misconfigured or weakly governed proxy, initialization, and upgrade mechanisms that let attackers seize control of implementations or reinitialize critical state.

Over $2.2 billion has been lost to crypto hacks recently, highlighting the need for a structured vulnerability framework in the blockchain ecosystem.

The OWASP Smart Contract Top 10: 2026 is designed to work with other OWASP resources like the SC Weakness Enumeration, Checklist, and Top 15 Web3 Attack Vectors to create a full framework for secure smart contract development, auditing, and compliance.
