@cybermax4200 has applied to work on this issue as part of the Stellar Wave Program's 6th wave.

I’d like to work on this issue because visibility analysis is an important aspect of smart contract security and gas optimization. Detecting functions that are more permissive than necessary can help reduce attack surface, improve code quality, and encourage best practices across contracts.

I have experience working with static analysis tools, smart contract security patterns, and rule-based code inspection systems. I’m comfortable implementing detection logic for visibility-related issues, defining actionable recommendations, creating representative test cases, and ensuring the rule produces accurate, low-noise findings that are useful to developers.
