Singapore-Based CredShields Contributes to OWASP’s 2026 Smart Contract Security Priorities

The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) has released its annual Smart Contract Top 10 list for 2026, a risk prioritization framework developed from a comprehensive analysis of real-world exploit data observed across blockchain ecosystems in 2025. The report highlights the continued prevalence of smart contract failures in the crypto space, with attackers increasingly targeting structural weaknesses rather than isolated vulnerabilities.

CredShields’ Contribution to the Report

CredShields, a security research and product company specializing in blockchain infrastructure resilience, played a key role in aggregating exploit patterns for the ranking. The company’s analysis incorporated impact-weighted signals from production incidents observed across decentralized finance, cross-chain infrastructure, and upgradeable systems.

Key Findings of the Report

The 2026 Top 10 list identifies several failure classes that were repeatedly observed in live environments, including access control misconfiguration, business logic invariant failure, and oracle dependency risk. Notably, attackers in 2025 often exploited exposed admin keys, fragile governance permissions, and cross-chain timing gaps to compromise smart contracts.

The report emphasizes the need for security teams to integrate risk modeling earlier in the development lifecycle, including role-based permission validation, upgrade path simulation, and oracle dependency stress testing. It also stresses the importance of automated CI/CD enforcement and invariant-driven design review to ensure production resilience.

Additional Insights

Furthermore, the 2026 ranking recognizes that some of the largest losses in 2025 stemmed from operational attack vectors, and includes an Alternate Top 15 Web3 Attack Vectors covering governance abuse, multisig compromise, and infrastructure-level threats.

Accessing the Full Report

The full OWASP Smart Contract Top 10: 2026 framework and supporting data are available through the OWASP Smart Contract Security Project. The project aims to provide practical frameworks to help developers and security teams understand and mitigate common blockchain vulnerabilities.

CredShields’ Commitment to Blockchain Security

By contributing to the OWASP Smart Contract Top 10 list, CredShields reinforces its commitment to strengthening smart contract and blockchain infrastructure resilience. The company’s platforms, including SolidityScan and Web3HackHub, deliver exploit intelligence, automated vulnerability detection, and structured risk modeling to help development teams identify weaknesses before deployment.
