  function approve(address spender, uint256 amount) external virtual nonReentrant returns (bool) {
    _approve(msg.sender, spender, amount);
    return true;
  }

https://github.com/code-423n4/2023-10-wildcat/blob/main/src/market/WildcatMarketToken.sol#L59-L62

  function _approve(address approver, address spender, uint256 amount) internal virtual {
    allowance[approver][spender] = amount;
    emit Approval(approver, spender, amount);
  }

In this function, users can approve an invalid address, such as the zero address.

This operation is considered invalid since both the approver and the spender must be non-zero addresses for proper execution.

Tools Used

Recommended Mitigation Steps

To avoid the operation where users can approve to invalid addresses such as the zero address, you can add a require statement to check that both the approver and the spender are non-zero addresses. Here's an example of how you can do this in Solidity:

    function _approve(address owner, address spender, uint256 amount) internal virtual {
        require(owner != address(0), "ERC20: approve from the zero address");
        require(spender != address(0), "ERC20: approve to the zero address");
        ...
    }
