A Code-Level Vulnerability is a flaw or weakness present within the source code of a software program or smart contract. Such an imperfection can be exploited by malicious actors to compromise the system’s security, leading to unauthorized access, data manipulation, or financial loss. These vulnerabilities stem from errors in design, implementation, or configuration.

Remediation efforts, including audits and bug bounty programs, are critical for addressing these flaws before they can be exploited. The continuous scrutiny of smart contract code remains a paramount concern for ensuring the safety and reliability of digital assets.
