# Findings severity levels

The audit contest is directed at identifying possible vulnerabilities in the project's code. The result of the audit is a report with a list of detected vulnerabilities ranked by severity level:

 

| Severity                                 | Description                                                                                                                        |
| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <mark style="color:red;">Critical</mark> | Vulnerabilities leading to the theft of assets, blocking access to funds, or any other loss of funds.                              |
| <mark style="color:yellow;">High</mark>  | Vulnerabilities that cause the contract to fail and that can only be fixed by modifying or completely replacing the contract code. |
| <mark style="color:blue;">Medium</mark>  | Vulnerabilities breaking the intended contract logic but without loss of funds and need for contract replacement.                  |
| <mark style="color:green;">Low</mark>    | Minor bugs that can be taken into account in order to improve the overall quality of the code                                      |

After the stage of bug fixing by the Customer, the findings can be assigned the following statuses:

| Status                                          | Description                                                                                                                                   |
| ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <mark style="color:green;">Fixed</mark>         | Recommended fixes have been made to the project code and no longer affect its security.                                                       |
| <mark style="color:yellow;">Acknowledged</mark> | The Customer took into account the finding. However, the recommendations were not implemented since they did not affect the project's safety. |
