Implement wallet connection security auditing and risk assessment

[Just-Bamford]

Description

Problem

Wallet connections currently provide limited security visibility. Applications cannot consistently determine whether an adapter supports expected security properties or whether a connection presents known risks.

Solution

Implement a wallet security assessment layer that evaluates adapter metadata, supported capabilities, connection origin, authentication state, and known vulnerability information.

Return a structured security report rather than a single opaque score.

Acceptance Criteria

• Wallet security audit function is implemented.
• Adapter capabilities are included in the assessment.
• Connection origin is evaluated where available.
• Known vulnerability metadata can be consumed from a configurable source.
• Security score from 0–100 is calculated deterministically.
• Individual risk factors are exposed alongside the score.
• High-risk connections generate warnings.
• Unknown vulnerability information is not treated as automatically safe.
• Tests cover secure, degraded, vulnerable, and unknown configurations.
• Exported through src/wallet/index.ts and src/index.ts.

Note for Contributors

Do not create a false sense of security by treating an adapter score as a guarantee. The API should expose the underlying factors that produced the assessment.

I would like to work on this issue because I’m interested in improving the security and reliability of wallet connection flows. Wallet integrations can expose users and applications to risks such as unauthorized connections, malicious or unexpected wallet behavior, insecure handling of connection state, and insufficient validation of wallet-related data.

I’m comfortable researching an existing codebase, understanding the current wallet connection flow, identifying potential security risks, and implementing improvements while keeping the existing architecture and user experience in mind. I would approach this by first reviewing the current wallet connection and authentication logic, documenting potential attack vectors and security assumptions, then implementing appropriate validation, checks, and risk-assessment mechanisms with tests.

I’m also willing to spend time understanding the project’s existing patterns and contributing according to its coding standards. My goal would be to produce a well-tested, maintainable solution rather than making changes without understanding their security implications.

I’m particularly interested in this issue because it combines software development with practical security engineering, and I’d be excited to contribute a meaningful improvement to the project.
