Vulnerability details

Impact

NOTE -> Medium severity as here, here and here

There are contracts that do not emit events on critical places like adding liquidity, setting state variables, doing withdrawals... this is bad because 1) there are discrepancies between contracts, as some are covered whilst others are not 2) to verify changes on state variables, users/admins will need to read the value directly from the blockchain, which is a burden and 3) many automatic tools that monitors the contracts deployed and the blockchain rely on them, so they won't be as useful at stopping/detecting threats

Proof of Concept

Contracts like RdpxV2Core do follow bests practices and emits events whenever is possible. However, many others (the mentioned above) do not. Some examples:

• Constructors like the one at UniV3LiquidityAmo do not emit any, so for the deployer/users to verify the correctness of the deployment (AKA state variables rdpx and rdpxV2Core) will need to read the blockchain directly (using cast, for example)
• In RpdxDecayingBonds there is an emergencyWithdraw event which is not used in his respective function, whilst its equivalent in UniV2LiquidityAmo does emit LogEmergencyWithdraw
• UniV3LiquidityAmo::addLiquidity does not emit any whilst UniV3LiquidityAmo::removeLiquidity does emit two. Its equivalent on UniV2LiquidityAmo does emit one, too
• RdpxV2Core::setAddresses does emit one event logging the changes whilst its equivalent on UniV2LiquidityAmo does not
• ...

Tools Used

Manual analysis

Recommended Mitigation Steps

Consider emitting events after sensitive changes take place (including in the constructor), to facilitate tracking and notify off-chain clients following the contracts’ activity. Some of them are even defined in the contract but not used, so consider using them.
