Understanding Findings
Learn how to interpret security findings and severity levels in your audit report.
Severity Levels
Hexific categorizes security findings by severity to help you prioritize fixes. Higher severity issues should be addressed first.
Critical
Severe vulnerabilities — loss of funds, contract takeover. Fix immediately.
Major
High-risk issues exploitable under certain conditions. Fix before mainnet.
Medium
Important issues with limited exploitability. Recommended to fix.
Minor
Low-risk issues, harder to exploit. Good practice to fix.
Informational
Code quality suggestions, no security risk. Optional improvements.
Optimization
Gas optimization opportunities. Implement if gas costs matter.
