The '_bspRequiredStake' variable is not initialized in the 'initialize' function
Summary
The smart contract 'BlockSpecimenProofChain' has a vulnerability related to the initialization of the '_bspRequiredStake' variable. The variable is not initialized in the 'initialize' function, which can lead to potential issues as the contract relies on this variable for certain calculations and conditions
Vulnerability Detail
The '_bspRequiredStake' variable is not initialized in the 'initialize' function.
Impact
This can result in unexpected behavior or vulnerabilities as the contract relies on '_bspRequiredStake' for certain calculations and conditions. The uninitialized variable may lead to incorrect calculations and decisions, posing a risk to the functionality and security of the smart contract
It is recommended to initialize the '_bspRequiredStake' variable in the 'initialize' function. Ensure that all essential variables are properly initialized to avoid unintended behavior or vulnerabilities. Review and update the initialization logic to set a meaningful and secure initial value for '_bspRequiredStake'.
