Abstract

The effectiveness of smart contract fuzzing depends strongly on whether generated transactions reach deep, state-dependent execution paths. Existing fuzzers often generate highly random call sequences, wasting executions on semantically invalid or low-value states and leaving vulnerabilities that require specific invocation orders unexplored. We present a lightweight method for generating fuzz test cases under bytecode-level static guidance. We construct an Ethereum virtual machine control-flow graph, extract paths containing vulnerability-relevant instructions, recover function selectors, and order externally callable functions according to storage readwrite dependencies. A coverage-guided evolutionary strategy then generates, evaluates, recombines, and mutates executable seeds. Five dedicated runtime oracles target reentrancy, integer overflow or underflow, block-state dependence, unsafe delegate calls, and frozen Ether. The evaluation uses deployed Ethereum contracts, including labelled vulnerable contracts. SAEFUZZ detects most labelled vulnerable contracts, yielding 98.50% accuracy, 90.00% precision, and 81.82% recall. It also achieves 84.07% mean instruction coverage, with valid test cases accounting for 93.48% of generated cases. Ablation results indicate that static guidance, directed seed generation, and vulnerability-specific oracles each contribute to the final performance.
