Vulnerability details

Impact

The ability for users to mint more positions than a specified limit can lead to several issues within the system. If unchecked, this could:

• System Overload: Allowing an excessive number of positions can strain the system resources, leading to performance degradation or crashes.
• Economic Risks: It can lead to disproportionate allocation of rewards or risks, potentially destabilizing the economic model of the protocol.
• Security Vulnerabilities: Malicious actors could exploit this to create an excessive number of positions, thereby manipulating the protocol's behavior or creating unforeseen vulnerabilities.

Proof of Concept

Documentation: Users should not be allowed to mint more positions than the limit https://github.com/code-423n4/2024-06-panoptic/blob/153f0d82440b7e63075d55b0659706531431145f/contracts/CollateralTracker.sol#L459

Tools Used

Recommended Mitigation Steps

Implement Position Limit: Modify the mint function to include a check that prevents users from minting more positions than the predefined limit.
