Summary

  • Implements corrupt_checksum(addr, rng) in src/mutators/checksum.rs: decode a StrKey, flip bits in the trailing CRC-16 bytes only, re-encode.
  • Asserts parse returns Err(ParseError::InvalidChecksum). Accepting a corrupted checksum or panicking is recorded as a finding; coincidentally valid CRCs are skipped so they are not false positives.
  • Wires the mutator into the fuzzer loop and aligns muxed-account generation with SEP-0023 (ed25519 || muxed_id) so generated M-addresses round-trip.

Closes #310

Test plan

  • cargo test in examples/rust-address-fuzzer (48 passed)
  • cargo test in examples/prism-core (7 passed)
  • cargo run --features diff --bin prism-diff -- --random 1000 --seed 42 (0 divergences)
  • cargo run --release -- --random 100000 --max-iterations 100000 --seed 42 (0 findings)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added checksum-corruption testing for Stellar StrKey addresses.
    • Random fuzzing now starts with valid addresses and applies targeted mutations, including truncation, padding, and version changes.
    • Findings now include the triggering input, mutation type, seed, iteration, and panic details.
    • Findings are saved in the configured findings directory for easier review.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved checksum validation coverage and ensured malformed inputs are rejected without unexpected panics.

Flip bits in the trailing CRC-16 only and require InvalidChecksum.
Skip coincidentally valid checksums so they are not false positives.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Rust address fuzzer now mutates valid addresses, classifies checksum and panic outcomes, records findings with execution metadata, and stores reproducers through Report. A checksum mutator module adds StrKey encoding, decoding, CRC validation, corruption, and extensive tests.

Changes

Address fuzzer enhancements

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checksum mutation and classification
examples/rust-address-fuzzer/src/mutators/checksum.rs, examples/rust-address-fuzzer/src/mutators/mod.rs
Adds StrKey CRC-16 helpers, checksum corruption, parser outcome classification, and finding creation. Exposes the checksum mutator module.
Fuzzer integration and findings
examples/rust-address-fuzzer/src/main.rs, examples/rust-address-fuzzer/src/report.rs
Generates valid addresses, applies mutations, passes seed and iteration metadata, catches panics, records findings, and writes reproducer.txt.
Checksum mutator validation
examples/rust-address-fuzzer/src/mutators/checksum.rs
Tests encoding round trips, checksum-only changes, preserved address shape, valid-checksum skips, checksum rejection, and panic-free parsing.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to bc1ba

The PR is not merge-ready because it currently fails to compile and random fuzzing does not invoke the new checksum-corruption path. Persisted findings may also be overwritten or lost across reruns, weakening test evidence.

Explanation

The changes implement checksum corruption by mutating only trailing CRC bytes, skip mutations with valid CRCs, classify parser outcomes, and record accepted or panicking inputs as findings. This satisfies issue #310.

Add the checksum mutator to this selector.

mutate selects only truncate, pad, and swap_version_byte. Therefore random mode never invokes mutators::checksum::corrupt_checksum, so the required checksum-rejection fuzz path does not run. Add a checksum mutation branch and pass its result to fuzz_one.

Remove the obsolete Report::record_finding(&mut self, Finding) method.

Rust does not support inherent-method overloading by parameter count. The duplicate definition prevents compilation, and the obsolete method references nonexistent findings_count and Finding::message fields.
