Vulnerability details
Summary
This report highlights a high vulnerability related to inadequate error handling in the code under review.
Vulnerability Details
The code lacks proper error handling in certain functions. Specifically, when errors occur, such as in the
swapCoins
function, they are not handled appropriately. Instead of providing context or logging the error, the code simply returns the error as is. This can lead to poor user experience and make it difficult to identify and resolve issues.Impact
