The contract lacks a pause mechanism, which could lead to significant issues if a critical bug or vulnerability is discovered. Without the ability to pause operations, the contract remains vulnerable to exploitation during emergencies.
Vulnerability Details:
In the current implementation, there is no function or modifier to pause the contract's operations in case of an emergency. If a critical bug is discovered or an exploit is identified, the contract cannot be temporarily halted to prevent further damage. This could result in the loss of funds, unauthorized access, or other severe consequences as the contract continues to operate without restriction.
Impact:
Without a pause mechanism, the contract is exposed to heightened risk in the event of a critical issue. The inability to halt operations immediately could lead to irreversible financial losses, data breaches, or other detrimental effects.
Tools Used:
Manual code review
Recommendations:
Implement a Pause Mechanism: Introduce a Pausable modifier that allows authorized personnel (e.g., the contract owner or an admin) to pause and unpause contract functions during emergencies.
