Vulnerability details

Impact

Hardcoding numbers that depend on other variables is error-prone, e.g. require(newOwnerSplit <= 2e17); // 20% You must not forget to update this if you decide to change the BASE value.

Recommended Mitigation Steps

Better define a separate constant that directly depends on the BASE, e.g.: uint256 private constant MAX_OWNER_SPLIT = BASE / 5; // 20% require(newOwnerSplit <= MAX_OWNER_SPLIT);
