If an overflow occurs during the addition, the result will wrap around to a smaller value, leading to an inaccurate total assets calculation. This can affect subsequent operations and potentially cause unexpected behavior in the contract.
Proof of Concept
The _totalAssets() function calculates the total assets managed by the contract's vault. Here's the vulnerable code snippet:
