# Audit Reports

Security is a top priority for the COTI network. Below you’ll find a list of independent security audits conducted on different components of the COTI ecosystem. Each report outlines the scope, focus areas, and includes a link to the full audit documentation.

These audits play a critical role in ensuring that the COTI protocol remains secure, reliable, and ready for real-world adoption.

You can find all published audit reports here:

## PoD Inbox and Privacy Portal hardening (internal review)

In addition to the external reports above, the PoD **Inbox** (`coti-pod-inbox-contracts`) and **PoD Privacy Portal** stack received an internal security review with follow-up fixes. Integrators should treat the following as current behavior (also reflected in the PoD / Avalanche books):

| Area                             | What changed for integrators                                                                                                                                                                               |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Capped returndata**            | Execution failures store at most 256 bytes of returndata. **`getOutboxError`** returns `(code, data)` with those raw bytes for client-side decoding.                                                       |
| **`retryFailedRequest`**         | Permissionless while error code is `1`. Encode failure on retry **reverts** and preserves code `1` (does not flip to encode-failed).                                                                       |
| **One-way `errorSelector`**      | `sendOneWayMessage` rejects non-zero `errorSelector`—use two-way for error callbacks.                                                                                                                      |
| **`executed` / response events** | Mean the return leg was **ingested**, not that the app callback committed.                                                                                                                                 |
| **Fee gas price**                | On-chain budgets use **bounded reference** gas price (`setGasPriceBounds`), not unbounded tip manipulation.                                                                                                |
| **Oracle cache**                 | `refreshCache()` refreshes **both** inbox legs; configure with `setInboxTokens` (Uniswap oracles set legs from pairs at construction).                                                                     |
| **Portal deposits**              | Prefer `refundFailedDeposit` only after **SystemFailed**. Stuck `Pending` may be retryable execution failure or miner lag—diagnose before refunding. Keep deposits off until mother registration confirms. |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.coti.io/coti-documentation/security/audit-reports.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
