+= Executive Summary
+
+This security audit examined the Rust-based Solana P2P Exchange program (openSVM/svmp2p), a decentralized peer-to-peer trading platform built using the Anchor framework. The audit identified multiple security vulnerabilities and architectural concerns that require immediate attention.
+
+== Key Findings Summary
+
+*Critical Issues:* 2 \
+*High Severity:* 4 \
+*Medium Severity:* 6 \
+*Low Severity:* 8 \
+*Informational:* 5
+
+The program implements core P2P exchange functionality including offer creation, escrow management, dispute resolution, and a reward system. While the overall architecture demonstrates security awareness, several critical vulnerabilities could lead to fund loss, unauthorized access, and system manipulation.
+
+= Methodology
+
+This audit employed a comprehensive approach including:
+
+- Static code analysis of all Rust source files
+- Architecture review focusing on account validation and PDA usage
+- Input validation assessment
+- Access control evaluation
+- Integer overflow and arithmetic safety analysis
+- Event emission and logging review
+- Cross-program invocation security assessment
+
+= Critical Findings
+
+== C-1: Potential SOL Drainage in Execute Verdict Function
+
+*File:* `disputes.rs:343-407`
+
+*Description:* The `execute_verdict` function transfers the entire escrow balance without proper validation of the amount. This could lead to unintended fund drainage if the escrow account is manipulated.
+
+```rust
+let escrow_balance = escrow_account.to_account_info().lamports();
+// No validation of expected amount vs actual balance
+```
+
+*Impact:* Complete loss of escrowed funds
+
+*Recommendation:* 
+- Validate escrow balance against expected offer amount
+- Add explicit checks for minimum required balance
+- Implement maximum transfer limits
+
+== C-2: Admin Authority Concentration Risk
+
+*File:* `admin.rs:19-27`, multiple files
+
+*Description:* The admin system has excessive privileges without multi-signature or time-lock mechanisms. A compromised admin key could:
+- Assign biased jurors to disputes
+- Manipulate reward parameters arbitrarily
+- Execute verdicts without proper validation
+
+*Impact:* Complete system compromise and fund manipulation
+
+*Recommendation:*
+- Implement multi-signature admin accounts
+- Add time-locks for critical operations
+- Implement admin rotation mechanisms
+
+= High Severity Findings
+
+== H-1: Double Validation Logic Bug
+
+*File:* `disputes.rs:195-198` and `offers.rs:93-101`
+
+*Description:* Multiple functions perform redundant length validation that could be bypassed:
+
+```rust
+let evidence_url = validate_and_process_string(&evidence_url, MAX_EVIDENCE_URL_LEN)?;
+if evidence_url.len() > MAX_EVIDENCE_URL_LEN {  // Redundant check
+    return Err(error!(ErrorCode::InputTooLong));
+}
+```
+
+*Impact:* Potential input validation bypass
+
+*Recommendation:* Remove redundant checks and rely on the utility function
+
+== H-2: Unprotected State Transitions
+
+*File:* `offers.rs:152-166`, `disputes.rs:167-191`
+
+*Description:* State transitions lack atomic guarantees and could leave accounts in inconsistent states if partially executed.
+
+*Impact:* Inconsistent program state, potential fund lockup
+
+*Recommendation:* Implement atomic state transitions with rollback mechanisms
+
+== H-3: Missing Rate Limiting on User Actions
+
+*File:* Multiple instruction files
+
+*Description:* Users can spam the system with evidence submissions, dispute openings, and other actions without rate limiting.
+
+*Impact:* System DoS, increased computational costs
+
+*Recommendation:* Implement per-user rate limiting with timestamp tracking
+
+== H-4: Insufficient Vote Validation in Disputes
+
+*File:* `disputes.rs:245-320`
+
+*Description:* While PDA-based duplicate prevention exists, the additional vote counting logic has edge cases:
+
+```rust
+if vote_count >= 3 {
+    return Err(error!(ErrorCode::AlreadyVoted));
+}
+```
+
+*Impact:* Potential vote manipulation or dispute resolution bypass
+
+*Recommendation:* Simplify vote validation logic and rely primarily on PDA constraints
+
+= Medium Severity Findings
+
+== M-1: Integer Overflow Risks in Reward System
+
+*File:* `rewards.rs:232-242`
+
+*Description:* While checked arithmetic is used, some calculations could still overflow with extreme values:
+
+```rust
+user_rewards.total_earned = user_rewards.total_earned
+    .checked_add(reward_amount)
+    .ok_or(P2PExchangeError::MathOverflow)?;
+```
+
+*Recommendation:* Add bounds checking before arithmetic operations
+
+== M-2: Inadequate Error Handling
+
+*File:* Multiple files
+
+*Description:* Error messages provide insufficient context for debugging and monitoring.
+
+*Recommendation:* Enhance error reporting with contextual information
+
+== M-3: Missing Event Data
+
+*File:* `state.rs:161-340`
+
+*Description:* Events lack sufficient data for proper off-chain monitoring and analysis.
+
+*Recommendation:* Add more comprehensive event data
+
+== M-4: Insufficient Access Control Granularity
+
+*File:* Various instruction files
+
+*Description:* Some operations lack fine-grained access controls.
+
+*Recommendation:* Implement role-based access control
+
+== M-5: Potential Timing Attacks
+
+*File:* `rewards.rs:346-349`
+
+*Description:* Rate limiting based on timestamps could be susceptible to timing manipulation.
+
+*Recommendation:* Use block-based rate limiting instead of timestamp-based
+
+== M-6: Unsafe Account Validation
+
+*File:* Multiple files using `/// CHECK:` comments
+
+*Description:* Several accounts are marked as unchecked, relying only on comments for safety.
+
+*Recommendation:* Add explicit validation where possible
+
+= Low Severity Findings
+
+== L-1: Code Quality Issues
+
+*File:* Multiple files
+
+*Description:* Clippy warnings indicate code quality issues including:
+- Missing error documentation
+- Large error variants
+- Potential performance improvements
+
+*Recommendation:* Address clippy warnings systematically
+
+== L-2: Unused Code Paths
+
+*File:* `offers.rs:266`
+
+*Description:* Some variables are declared but not fully utilized.
+
+*Recommendation:* Remove unused code or add proper usage
+
+== L-3: Magic Numbers
+
+*File:* `rewards.rs:352-355`
+
+*Description:* Hard-coded constants without clear justification.
+
+*Recommendation:* Move constants to configuration or document rationale
+
+== L-4: Inconsistent Naming
+
+*File:* Various files
+
+*Description:* Some naming conventions are inconsistent across the codebase.
+
+*Recommendation:* Standardize naming conventions
+
+== L-5: Incomplete Documentation

+
+*Description:* Some operations could be optimized for lower compute costs.
+
+*Recommendation:* Optimize frequently called functions
+
+== L-7: Hardcoded Seeds
+
+*File:* `state.rs` and instruction files
+
+*Description:* PDA seeds are hardcoded strings without versioning.
+
+*Recommendation:* Consider versioned seed management
+
+== L-8: Event Emission Consistency
+
+*File:* Multiple instruction files
+
+*Description:* Event emission patterns are inconsistent across functions.
+
+*Recommendation:* Standardize event emission patterns
+
+= Informational Findings
